This is one area where Linux fares better. Debian offers a 7 CD (OK they don'y make ISOs) set that contains all packages. I think the FreeBSD distribution would be better off having all ports on the 2 additional CDs rather than have packages. For starters we get 5 window managers. We could easily do w/o KDE & GNOME and have JRE/JDK and OOo instead. I might just have to give up FreeBSD for the reason that downloading ports is turning out to be expensive. BTW, any one in SIngapore who can lend a copy of 4.8 FreeBSD set? TIA TK ________________________________________________________________________ Want to chat instantly with your online friends?
