<h1>Frequently Asked Questions</h1>
<p>Where can I find the release directory or ISO images for older FreeBSD releases?</p>
<p>The FreeBSD Project does not maintain a centralized historical
archive of old release ISO images, but there are still many options.
First, try looking on <a
href="http://www.freebsdmirrors.org">http://www.freebsdmirrors.org</a>.
If you are unable to find an FTP mirror that still contains the
release you are looking for, then you can email CDROM vendors to see
if they have any old releases available. In September 2003, we know
of a case where FreeBSD 1.1 was used in a court of law to invalidate
a bogus software patent. Clearly, older releases can be very
important in some situations.</p>
