Quick Install Guide

This guide, will cover installing FreeBSD 6.2-Release from CD/FTP for the AMD64 platform.

I would appreciate any help, or input from any person running 32bit compatibility, with this release, as I can not seem to figure out on my own how to install the 32bit libraries.

If you have any questions, or there is an install method, or peripherals that I have not covered please refer to The FreeBSD Handbook
