I find CD a much safer media than a Hard Disk backup, except tapes. Also, I can give it to my friends to popularize my lovely FreeBSD. Actualy, if go further this way, sure, I can list at least 10 good reasons to have a CD with MY-stable-snapshot, i mean , instalable. Currently I have a server running 3.4R, pluged in my ISP's LAN. I will leave it with this 3.4R until I have a good, tested, and fine working installable CD with My-stable-snapshot. Then, I wll go and "Upgrade" my 3.4R server. Otherwise, I have to get this 3.4R machine at home, cvsup sources again, make installworld again etc. I hope you get the point ? ----------------------------------- Plamen D.
