I still think that "The Complete FreeBSD" still falls squarely under the category of "accompanying docs" rather than the context in which I believe Aladdin meant it. They don't want publishers like SAMS just slipping a "Ghoscript CD!" into one of their generic books on publishing as an add-on bonus, but they don't mind it going into legitimate, self-sufficient CD products which may (optionally) also have some printed documentation available. The case where it's a cover disk for some magazine is, indeed, specifically excluded I see now and I'd say that's reason alone to just mark Ghostcript 5x as "NO_CDROM" from this point onwards, my reasoning being that we *like* FreeBSD going out on people's magazine covers and it's frequently the easiest thing for Walnut Creek CDROM to do to give them CD #1 of whatever FreeBSD product they currently have and suggest that as the cover disc. I'd hate to lose that flexibility over one package. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
