The mplayer package may not be redistributed for license reasons. There's no space for more packages on the iso image produced by freebsd.org anyway. For third party vendors who sell CD sets, they produce their own CDs so what they choose to include is up to them, and you'd have to talk to the vendor directly. For example, I think that the bsdmall CD sets include OpenOffice packages as one of the 'value added' features they use to encourage people to buy their version. kris --7JfCtLOvnd9MIVvH Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFBYcIGWry0BWjoQKURAiijAJ92Z34YaB+/P7Zm/FJ99U9hfIhwYwCgkXq+ Cm44mhKCHnIR5m1As1Br05w= =vFEA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --7JfCtLOvnd9MIVvH--
