Usually, I just grab the install disk and pull the packages needed either from ftp (done automatically when you make the port) or gnutella as I need them. (As far as ports go, I try to stay more current than when the Release came out, anyways.) But I can also understand if you just want them all, just in case. The best information I can give you is from the 4.2 release I bought, which had four disks. disks 1 and 2 are the install and recovery disks; disks 3 and 4 are "extra packages," as I'd assume disk 3 is for 5.0. Maybe there is a side project which tracks and makes iso sets like this. I don't know of one, but maybe someone on this list does. I think the 'entire' collection may have grown too large for this to really be practical. >Thanks a lot, >Razvan >-- Hope that helps, Clayton _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.
