>Release:        FreeBSD 2.2.6-RELEASE i386
>Environment:

	Installing 2.2.6 from Walnut Creek CD-ROM's

>Description:

	In attempting to locate the ports collection on the 2.2.6
	CD-ROM collection, inspection of the CD-ROM labels and
	coversheets reveal a failure to provide even a one-line
	summary of the each CD-ROM contents.  This makes handling
	the CD-ROM's unfriendly under FreeBSD, since it
	insert/mount/browse/umount/remove is a lengthy process and
	requires root access for the mount/umount sequence.

	The existing comment "Please see README.TXT" doesn't cut
	it with a collection this large, to examine all four disks
	requires a total of 20 steps.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Open CD-ROM package.  Examine disks for contents.  Start
	mounting.

>Fix:
	
	Provide reasonable summary one line summary of actual
	contents of disk on each label, and also in the booklet.
	Booklet summary of disk contents should be slightly longer, if
	needed.
