A lot depends on why you want them.  If you're collecting CDs, then
only the CD will do.  If you want to run them, you should reconsider.
If you're interested in them for academic reasons, you can check out
any version back to 2.0 from CVS.  For reasons related to the USL
wars, the repository for release 1 of FreeBSD isn't available, though
Caldera (now called "SCO") released the license a couple of years ago,
so if you find one, you're now allowed to use it.
