It bit me during the install of 4.0, but that was the last time I used a CD.
It looked to my untrained eye (back in the mists of, ooh, last June)
like the installer had locked up.
One answer could be to modify the sysinstall config on those ISOs to hold a
reduced list of packages
(or at least provide a popup warning for missing packages, indicating a
URL to the 'ports' part of the Handbook online).
Although that's a lot of work so clsoe to a release.
Maybe something in the README in the ISO directory of the ftp server
mentioning this would be enough?
