Please do read
 	http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.1R/announce.html
"Availability" yourself:
 	----------------------------------------
dvd1:

     Contains everything necessary to install the base FreeBSD 
operating system, a collection of pre-built packages, the 
documentation, and supports booting into a "livefs" based rescue 
mode. This should be all you need if you can burn and use 
DVD-sized media.

Greetings,

Uli.
