Would that help keep the cost down? However, although I'm a subscriber, I personally don't need a *regular* SNAP CD at the present time. I *could* use some way of easily bootstrapping ctm (for cvs-cur, src-cur and ports-cur) without having to squirrel away 'A' deltas. I'd be happy with either srcdist and cvsdist plus 'R' deltas on a release CD, or a one-off separate CD with 'A' deltas (other goodies, such as the latest SNAP, would be an added bonus, and such a CD would be worth the going rate to me.) Perhaps 'R' deltas on the Release CD and regular cheap SNAP CDs with 'A' deltas offer the best all round solution? Mark.
