my computer has ethernet internet connection. i use linksys lan card. if i reinstall system i have to reinstall the lan software. but it says its designed for windows only. and i want to remove windows because 1 it has virus, 2 it has only total of 2 gb. and i relly really liked freebsd screenshots. i really want to use it. please tell me a way to do that
Check here to see if your Linksys card is supported by FreeBSD: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.9R/hardware-i386.html If it is listed there, then you don't need any additional software, the required drivers are included in FreeBSD.
Otherwise, I suggest you start reading the handbook. Folks like myself have put considerable effort into putting together this documentation. I don't really have the desire to repeat everything that's been done there: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html
Specicifically, the section on installation I pointed you to earlier.
If, during installation, you hit a _specific_ problem, don't hesitate to mail this list asking for assistance. If you do so, please read this document: http://www.lemis.com/questions.html and follow the instructions there, it will assure you of the fastest response.
I suspect that English is not your first language. At the top-right of the FreeBSD.org homepage are links to other languages. See if your language is listed there, it will probably make things easier on you.
Good Luck!

i have only 1.38 mb floppy disks, so can i burn
those
2 files into one cd and install it by cdrom.
You have a few choices: 1) if you don't have a CD, you can create two floppies, boot from them and install via ftp over the internet 2) If you have a CD that will boot, you can burn an ISO image, boot off the CD and do the entire install from CD 3) If you have a CD, but it won't boot, you can boot from floppies (as in #1) then install the remainer of the system from CD
or how do i install with iso files.
See
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install.html
If you don't know how to burn an ISO to a CD, read the docs for the CD burning software you're using, all CD burning software is different.
how much mb does it take after totall install.
It depends on the type of install. A minumal is only a few hundred meg, but a more practical installation will probably require a few gig.
