[ Picking a random message to reply to ] Yea. Just to confirm, the 4-CD sets going out from WRS will indeed have a 'tools' directory, I've emailed Brian from freebsd-services to make sure he's read this thread and remembers to add the Tools directory for their products as well. The tools directory is on the FTP site, it will be on the replicated CDs, and I really think that pushing up another ISO right now will get more complaints from hubs@ than the missing tools directory generated in the first place. =20 > As long as the media shipped out has the tools I'm fine.
