You'll need the files 6.2-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso and
6.2-RELEASE-i386-disc2.iso. You can find them on FreeBSD mirror sites;
[http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors-ftp.html]

If you don't have any experience, I would recommend that you
1) Read chapter 2 of the handbook;
   [http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html] 
2) Install FreeBSD on a virtual machine first, to practice. A nice free
   virtual machine is qemu [www.qemu.org]. You can download windows
   binaries from [http://www1.interq.or.jp/~t-takeda/qemu/].
3) Install FreeBSD on your PC. I've set up a page with some tips you
   might find usefull [http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/freebsd/index.html].

HTH, Roland
