(Sorry, lost track of quoting)
The style is okay, but I would suggest rearranging the order to
demphasize the DVD with its quickly-obsolete packages. Media type is
very important and should probably be mentioned first.
>> FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso - CD: Installer, FreeBSD OS
>> FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-i386-memstick.img - USB: Installer, FreeBSD OS, image for memory sticks
>> FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-i386-bootonly.iso - CD: Installer, installs from network
>> FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-i386-dvd1.iso.xz - DVD: Installer, FreeBSD OS, many pre-compiled packages (large file)
>> FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-i386-livefs.iso - CD: FreeBSD live CD for repairs

A lot of the people who needlessly download the DVD would be better off
with bootonly. It's not any harder to install.
