This makes handling the CD-ROM's unfriendly under FreeBSD, since it insert/mount/browse/umount/remove is a lengthy process and requires root access for the mount/umount sequence. The existing comment "Please see README.TXT" doesn't cut it with a collection this large, to examine all four disks requires a total of 20 steps. >How-To-Repeat: Open CD-ROM package. Examine disks for contents. Start mounting. >Fix: Provide reasonable summary one line summary of actual contents of disk on each label, and also in the booklet. Booklet summary of disk contents should be slightly longer, if needed. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
