I suppose if I cut out all the international material in the packages, the "xperimental" dir, and the commerce dir, I may be able to fit everything in one CD. But... if I cannot slice the packages down, shall I simply fit enough packages in one CD, then put the rest in another CD using the SAME exactly directory tree? (will the install prompt me to add another CD?). Or would I have to modify the INDEX? Thanks.. either that or can someone send me the dir listings of the FreeBSD 2.2.7-RELEASE CD? (and no... I do not really want to buy the CD since I have a cd-burner and FreeBSD is free. ) :) Carroll Kong To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
