That's all.

Last time (2 days ago) I packed a releng_4 iso to install FreeBSD on an old box, which has no workable NIC, no usable floppy, only a 12X CDROM. The time consumes for make/burn the iso is around 10 minutes :-) -- pub 1024D/F8D2B472 2000-08-05 Clive Lin Key fingerprint = 7F9D 57A8 55C7 AA18 49B5 3820 570B 27F6 F8D2 B472 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
