== Choosing an Image
-For the FreeBSD installer: formats include DVD (disc1, dvd1), and network install (bootonly) sized ISO, plus regular and mini USB memory sticks.
+FreeBSD images are provided in several formats to cover different installation and deployment scenarios:
-For virtual machines: virtual disk images have FreeBSD preinstalled.
-
-For embedded platforms: SD card images are available.
+* Installer images: DVD ISOs (`disc1`, `dvd1`) allow offline installation; `bootonly` ISO requires a network connection. USB images come as full `memstick` (offline) or `mini-memstick` (network required).
+* Virtual machine images: Pre-installed systems for hypervisors and cloud environments. `BASIC-CI` images are minimal FreeBSD builds with cloudinit-compatible man:nuageinit[7] scripting installed by default, to enable custom automated scripting on startup. These are used by other projects to run test suites; they are not part of FreeBSD's own CI infrastructure.
+* SD Card images: Pre-installed systems for single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi.
