Do you remember your first FreeBSD install?
Many in our community remember when installing an operating system meant waiting on physical media, dial-up downloads, or carefully tested CD distributions, long before pulling source took seconds.

We’d like to hear your story:
• Was your first FreeBSD install from a CD?
• Do you remember your first release?

Share your experience in the comments.

@FreeBSDFoundation I think that was in 1998 because #NetBSD lacked drivers for a network interface that I had to use. They fixed that shortly afterwards.
