Don't install a version that's five years old. Get 8.2-RELEASE.

Only one disk is needed. "bootonly" can take a while to install because it downloads everything from the net as it goes. Still, it can be overall faster than downloading "disc1", which has everything needed for the operating system, plus source, plus an old ports tree and some packages. Don't download the DVD, it's not needed by 99% of users. The "memstick" image is for a USB memory stick, and has everything disc1 has, plus a bit more.

There are at least three different firewalls available in FreeBSD.
 
If you really need a 7.x version use 7.4. 7.0 has been end-of-life since April 2009.
