Someone has to do the work..it's not hard. Complaining about it won't help, though..you can't force people to do something they're not paid or required to do. Another possibility is that you could pay someone a support contract and they can make you an ISO each time we release an advisory. > Im sure you want support?

Welcome to running a computer..security vulnerabilities are just something you have to live with. We do our best to make it easy to handle within the resources and framework available (that doesn't extend to generating an entire new ISO at this time, it's already enough work putting out the advisories and making the upgrade packages) > to do a fresh install from a bootable CD that is stable and secure? in th= e=20 > last few months I feal I have wasted $150 and alot more in time with free= bsd=20 > is this how your suppose to feel? Consider the possibility that you've had unrealistic expectations from the products/services you've paid $150 for. For one thing, you're not complaining to the people who you paid the $150 to (the members of this list owe you nothing and are donating their support time for free), and what you are asking for is fundamentally impossible anyway. All code has bugs, including security bugs. > reaming? When should I try again 4.4,5.0? All I want is to be able to=20 > install freebsd from a cd-rom that is not already exploitible.
