The fact that you are able to pay someone to put it on a useful medium for you doesn't mean it's not free. You don't have to buy it from Walnut Creek if you don't like their price; you can buy it from anyone else who's selling it, or you can get it for yourself for... you guessed it... free. You can do this via FTP, by borrowing a friend's FreeBSD CD, or a number of other approaches. I'm sorry if you're offended by this flexibility. -- Jon Hamilton hamilton@pobox.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
