I'm somewhat confused as to what the DVD should include and in what =20 order. When I make a release and include docs which I normally =20 don't, I end up with 5 cdrom images that I can't directly relate to =20 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=09ISO=0936320 KB=0903/12/08 8.0-CURRENT-200803-i386-disc1.iso=09ISO=09408378 KB=0903/12/08 8.0-CURRENT-200803-i386-disc2.iso=09ISO=09364 KB=0903/12/08 8.0-CURRENT-200803-i386-docs.iso=09ISO=09252906 KB=0903/12/08 8.0-CURRENT-200803-i386-livefs.iso=09ISO=09223078 KB=0903/12/08 My question is which of these would be recommended to include in the =20 DVD and in what order? Dru doesn't mention the livefs or bootonly and =20 has a disc3. I guess I could download the 7.0 release, mount and =20 compare.. . . . . but there must be other clueless folks that wonder =20 about this also. Thanks, ed
