That is correct, unless you buy the CD set. OTOH, creating an image
containing the install sets is trivial.

Another person said
that the only way to get an official install CD is to buy one, but I
don't want to take the chance. Some of the BSD branches offer install
CDs.

If you refuse to learn how to create a bootable ISO image, buy the CD set
or perform an FTP install then that is your best option.

Here's where I checked for a full install CD iso image:

http://mirror.planetunix.net/pub/OpenBSD/4.1/i386/

Those are the basic set of files used to create a CD image.

I see none. Some of the titles appear to be install CDs but take a
look at the file size and you'll see what I see.

Had you even bothered to read the FAQ, as previously recommended, you
would have seen descriptions of those files.

There are one or two more BSDs to try yet before I give up on it.

Perhaps you should just stay with your click and drool Linux and Windows.
