Hi, I've just bought a FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE (March 2000) CD-ROM Set and was _very_ disappointed, as I couldn't find any distfiles (sources), that go with /usr/ports! In previous releases (3.4-RELEASE and earlier), most distfiles were present on the CD Set. Are we now supposed to download package-sources directly off the 'Net? The 4.0 CDs are not produced by Walnut Creek but by BSD, Inc. Is this an "official" distribution? The small printed booklet still points to orders@cdrom.com and the CDs look exactly the same in design as Walnut-Creek FreeBSD CDs. How can I check, that these CD-ROMs are trustworthy? MD5-Checksums??? What's going on here? Can other FreeBSD-4.0 RELEASE users confirm, that the distfiles are really missing on the "official" CDs? Are the distfiles for the 4.0-RELEASE ports available on CD-ROM at all? (Which CD-ROM and where please?) Thank you for your help. -Farid. -- Farid Hajji Broicherdorfstr. 83, D-41564 Kaarst, Germany Phone: +49-2131-67-555, E-Mail: farid.hajji@ob.kamp.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
