All my FreeBSD CDs have been burned on Debian or FreeBSD. --=20 Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] --3V7upXqbjpZ4EhLz Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAktDj1wACgkQ9mn/Pj01uKUJkgCg65sb8uhjJJe4v0vV3gh+VYdM wzcAniF11S22HS628IoHw62vxa2Q6HWu =d9/Z -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --3V7upXqbjpZ4EhLz--
