Dears All , In no one of the following directories : ftp://ftp1.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/ISO-IMAGES/8.3/ ftp://ftp1.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/ISO-IMAGES/8.4/ ftp://ftp1.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/ISO-IMAGES/9.0/ ftp://ftp1.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/ISO-IMAGES/9.1/ there is a "read me" file to describe *.iso files and how to use them . For experienced users , such a file may be "nonsense" , but each year , there are a lot of "NEW" candiate users grown sufficently in age which many of them may wish to try any of the *.iso files . When there is no any information about them , what can they do ? There is a file in their parent directory : ftp://ftp1.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/README.TXT This file may contain such a descriptive information . Preparing a .html file with links to information about how to burn / record these files may be much more useful : It may contain links to : http://www.freebsd.org/where.html In the above page , there is ONLY a link to the following : http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install.html ( Chapter 3 Installing FreeBSD 8.X and Earlier ) Inclusion of link to the following page may be useful : http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/bsdinstall.html ( Chapter 2 Installing FreeBSD 9.X and Later ) http://www.freebsd.org/releases/9.1R/installation.html : The above page does not contain any information about *.iso files . Some sample pages : http://www.sysresccd.org/Sysresccd-manual-en_How_to_install_SystemRescueCd_on_an_USB-stick http://www.sysresccd.org/Sysresccd-manual-en_Downloading_and_burning http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/try-ubuntu-before-you-install http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/burn-a-dvd-on-windows http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/install-ubuntu-with-windows http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/burn-a-dvd-on-ubuntu http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu Thank you very much .

Information in that page may be moved into a page in the respective directory , and release announcements and other pages may have a link to that page . In that way , both requirements may be fulfilled . Main goal is to enable the new users to reach to related information in the shortest possible way . Thank you very much .
