I haven't burnt a CD in over 10 years and I don't believe I have seen a CD only drive in that time. Even with a CD size image I have burnt them to DVD, I first started this because transfer speeds of DVD's are faster and nowadays it costs almost the same to burn a DVD. So I see zero benefit to using CD's and that's before thinking of reusable USB devices. I do think there is a benefit to keeping the small boot only image available that can be used to start/recover a machine that can then download any data to be installed. -- FreeBSD - the place to B...Storing Data Shane Ambler
