I've never looked, but I'll take your word for it when you say they aren't labelled after burning. So, compare the number of bytes used on the disk to an ISO image size and you'll see which is which, then you can label them. miniinst contains just enough to install FreeBSD, the first ISO contains FreeBSD and some packages (a complete superset of the miniinst), and the second CD is a bootable live CD. Off of the top of my head, I don't know what 4th ISO is in thi directory without checking the FTP site. This is probably all documented in the FreeBSD handbook, which you should read the installation section of from FreeBSD's website. -- Adam Fabian (afabian@austin.rr.com)
