Not to get too far afield, but I might suggest the install people consider some middle ground. Right now I can mess with floppies for an install, or download a 600+ Meg ISO image to burn CD's. It would be extremly useful if I could download a 5-10 Meg ISO image for a CD that was essentially the floppy install (eg, download everything over the net), without having to wait for a 600 M download to finish over a slow link. -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell@ufp.org - CCIE 3440 PGP keys at http://www.ufp.org/~bicknell/ Read TMBG List - tmbg-list-request@tmbg.org, www.tmbg.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
