Hi I know that there are 4 FreeBSD cdroms, and I saw that the one has the basic system (cd1), and the other has the ports collection (cd3), and that cd4 has even more ports, but I don't know why they're on cd4. My problem is that I want to make my own CD, and now I don't know exactly what I sould do. Of course I can put all things that are on cd1 on my CD, but I don't have the ports do I? (However there was a file called ports.tgz, and I remembered I could install all ports in a directory during the installation of my 2.2.1 FreeBSD...) Of course I want everything on one CD, and that don't fits, but what do you suggest me? If it's really worth I can make 2 CD's, however I still have to download everything :-) (I want to install it on more than one machine, so I think it's worth making a CD... And everywhere I want sendmail and gnuplot, so I really need the ports... :-) (they aren't in the basic system are they?) By the way; what filesystem do I have to make the CD? ISO, or RockRidge? And do you think that is possible on a win95 machine? (The CD writer is on a win95 machine, can't change that.) And; Please reply to P.Dekkers@phys.uu.nl - The server which I have my subscribtion with is still down. Paul P.S. I decided to install a newer version on my recently crashed server (I could save some data, just the first partition (/) was unreadable...) instead of the old 2.2.1 that I have on CD and that was installed before. But if it's too hard for me to get the new 2.2.6, I think I'll install 2.2.1 because I stimply need to get the server back to work before Monday.
