HELP FREEBSD 7.3 to FREEBSD 7.1

D

darklongju2

I have a problem, I purchased a dedicated server where I installed FreeBSD 7.3 hours I could kindly tell how to install FreeBSD 7.1 32-bit?

Thanks for your help
 
Why downgrade? Anything that runs on FreeBSD 7.1 will run on FreeBSD 7.3.
 
What is the reason? There are a couple of different ways to do that with the easiest being to use the 7.1-RELEASE or 7.2-RELEASE iso, easily available from most of the ftp sites.
 
then I bought a dedicated, now I can only install version 7.3 or 8.1 of FreeBSD. But I need version 7.1. Please tell me how to put it?

Yes, your posts are very confusing and we are having trouble understanding what you are trying to do.
davidgurvich already told you, the easiest way is to download a disc1 for whatever version you want and install it. It is as simple as that.

But if you can install the latest version (8.1) why choose anything else? And if you did install 8.1 and it failed, then tell us what exactly did not work and maybe we can solve your problem.
 
darklongju2, your posts sound to me (and I think everybody here) like panic. Do you ever read other members' posts. Calm down and explain your situation. May be what you are trying to ask is not needed to you at all at this point.

why you need freebsd 7.1?
This is not good idea.
