Currently I think this is possible just for i386 arch. But creating such 2 dvd images creates a problem. Which package will go to which DVD image? But I remember that there was a work done for FreeBSD 4.4 release. On 4.4 as you remember we could able to download 4 FreeBSD CDs with all packages in it. PS: Just a quick check: istanbul:/ftp/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386$ du -s -h packages-5.3-release/ 14G packages-5.3-release/ 14G requires more that 2 DVDs. But there are lots of language spesific packages whch can be removed right? jason andrade writes: > On Wed, 17 Nov 2004, Oliver Fromme wrote: > >> >> jason andrade wrote: >> > i've also been asked if (as other distros are doing) FreeBSD >> > will master a DVD iso image for downloads. >> >> You don't need a separate DVD ISO image.
