Hello

im trying to download a copy of unix from the site. i have got to:

"

2.13.1 Creating an installation CDROM

As part of each release, the FreeBSD project makes available five CDROM 
images (``ISO images''). These images can be written (``burned'') to CDs if you 
have a CD writer, and then used to install FreeBSD. If you have a CD writer, and 
bandwidth is cheap, then this is the easiest way to install FreeBSD.


Download the correct ISO images

The ISO images for each release can be downloaded from 
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-arch/version or the closest mirror. Substitute arch and 
version as appropriate.

That directory will normally contain the following images:

Table 2-6. FreeBSD ISO image names and meanings

Filename Contains 
version-mini.iso Everything you need to install FreeBSD. 
version-disc1.iso Everything you need to install FreeBSD, and as many 
additional                    third party packages as would fit on the disc. 
version-disc2.iso A ``live filesystem'', which is used in conjunction with 
the ``Repair'' facility in sysinstall. A copy of the FreeBSD CVS tree. As many 
additional third party packages as would fit on the disc. 
version-disc3.iso As many additional third party packages as would fit on the 
disc. 
version-disc4.iso As many additional third party packages as would fit on the 
disc.

i wud like to dl version-disc1.iso but i odnt now which bit to use as a 
substitue for arch or version in the url.

could you help?
thankyou
