FreeBSD only puts out the ISO-s that are available free on the main or one of the mirror sites. There are some companies that pick up the ISO images and make a distribution. That is permitted under the FreeBSD license. Usually they sell it for a bit over cost and include a printed version of the Handbook. Most of them contribute a portion of their receipts back to the FreeBSD foundation to help in development. So, either you can convince one of the packaging companies - they are listed in the web site - to make a DVD distibution or you can start doing it and selling it yourself. ////jerry > > Thanks a lot. > > Michel Ali > > * > > Avant d'imprimer cet e-mail, merci de penser à notre environnement > > > Before printing this mail, please consider our environment. > > > Antés de imprimir este correo, por favor, piense en nuestro medio ambiente. > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
