I'm somewhat confused as to what the DVD should include and in what
order. When I make a release and include docs which I normally
don't, I end up with 5 cdrom images that I can't directly relate to
Dru's article. The rest seems to be straight forward.
I see that the snapshots are the same:
8.0-CURRENT-200803-i386-bootonly.iso ISO 36320 KB 03/12/08
8.0-CURRENT-200803-i386-disc1.iso ISO 408378 KB 03/12/08
8.0-CURRENT-200803-i386-disc2.iso ISO 364 KB 03/12/08
8.0-CURRENT-200803-i386-docs.iso ISO 252906 KB 03/12/08
8.0-CURRENT-200803-i386-livefs.iso ISO 223078 KB 03/12/08
My question is which of these would be recommended to include in the
DVD and in what order? Dru doesn't mention the livefs or bootonly and
has a disc3. I guess I could download the 7.0 release, mount and
compare.. . . . . but there must be other clueless folks that wonder
about this also.
Thanks,
