>Originator:     Drew Derbyshire
>Release:        FreeBSD 2.2.8-RELEASE i386
>Organization:
Kendra Electronic Wonderworks
>Environment:

	Install FreeBSD 2.2.8 release from CD-ROM's with no network during install.

>Description:

	The FreeBSD installation prompts for registration information, and allows saving this
	information if a network connection is not immediately available.  However, the
	generated file is devoid of instructions (in particular the e-mail address to send the
	registration to) and thus unless the installer writes down the address, the registration
	is likely to be discarded.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Install FreeBSD and use the registration option with no network connection.

>Fix:
	
	Include e-mail address in the generated output file with suitable comment on how to mail
	it.
