3- 5.2.1-RELEASE-i386-miniinst.iso
4- 5.2.1-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso
these are supposed to be standard files that i just need burning each one on a CD (bootable CDs)....and then proceeding to a "nprmal" guided installation (with gui mode..etc...)....
your advice please...
regards
All you need is 5.2.1-RELEASE-i386-miniinst.iso. It's less than 300 megs and has everything that you need to get started.
Be sure to read through the FreeBSD handbook available at
www.freebsd.org. It is one of the best resources on the 'net when it comes to FreeBSD.
www.freebsddiary.com is another good source with examples of problems and their solutions.

SADE(8) BSD System Manager's Manual SADE(8)
NAME
sade -- sysadmins disk editor
SYNOPSIS
sade
DESCRIPTION
The sade utility is used for various disk administration tasks on FreeBSD systems.
It is generally invoked without arguments for the default behavior, where the main menu is presented.
NOTES
The sade utility aims to provide a handy tool for disk management tasks on an already installed system. The goal is to provide the same text
interface for disk management in bsdinstall(8) in the post-installation environment.
SEE ALSO
bsdinstall(8), gpart(8)
HISTORY
A program called sade first appeared in FreeBSD 6.3 as a utility encapsulating features from the sysinstall(8) installer. It was replaced in
FreeBSD 10.0 with the equivalent part of bsdinstall(8).
AUTHORS
Nathan Whitehorn <nwhitehorn@FreeBSD.org>
BUGS
The utility misses a lot of nice features, such as tools for manipulating gmirror(8). These will be added later.
