Many newcomers to Un*x world are already discouraged to try FreeBSD for its relative lack of documentation support (Linux is far better in this aspect). Now this is getting even worse. Further, I don't understand what the label on the 4th CD stands for: there are no docs nor extra utilities on it, but a CVS tree, as in 3rd CD. I'm not pretty sure those two extra CDs are of any use if you're not connected to the Net -or your connection is not very good. Jesus ------ Jesus A.
