Dear All,

I am looking for a FreeBSD release which is most similar to 4.4 BSD-Lite and
I chose FreeBSD 2.0.5, the oldest release since 4.4 BSD-Lite. However, after
downloading iso file from archive

ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/<ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/4.3/>

and burning to CDROM, it still will not boot from CDROM. The burning process
should be fine since I just got it correctly as some of you may be aware. So
I wondering if it is possible that the ISO file has been broken. Is there
any one who maintains older archive know the validity of ISO file. Thank you
very much!

Your sincerely,
