I had thought that the README's had the ISO's information but was =20 unable to find it, assuming that it is still there. I may have =20 choosen the wrong ftp server or looked in the wrong subdirectory. I =20 think it would be very helpful if it still explained what each iso =20 contained. Just in case anyone would like to know I checked the following two =20 README's where I expected to find the ISO info: ftp://ftp7.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/README.TXT ftp://ftp7.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/README.TXT Thanks again, ed > > If you want to include the livefs, just copy it into > the directory from which you create the DVD ISO image. > You don't have to do anything special. > > Best regards > Oliver >
