I can easily live without the "Live Filesystem" on the second CD, but i _cannot_ live without either the ports _or_ the distfiles !! The ports are fine, but they don't fit into every environment, so i'm glad i have the distfiles to fit them to _my_ needs. In case the distfiles are missing, i have a binary distribution and i have to spend more money to ftp the stuff than for the whole CD !!!!!! IMHO, the source for _every_ binary has to be provided on the CD's, other- wise it's the first step to a binary-only distribution - and this is not something i'm going to like at all. hellmuth -- Hellmuth Michaelis hm@kts.org Hamburg, Europe There is a difference between an open mind and a hole in the head
