Here's the one I used for the 4.4 release. bento:/a/steve/4.4/RELEASE/i386/scripts/print-cdrom-packages.sh I believe this is a slightly modified version of the one that I got from olgeni upon Jordan's recomendation. > It seems that this script is either informative as to what > should go in a CDROM or mandatory as to what really goes in a CDROM.

I'd rather not see KDE or GNOME at all on the first disc but some don't feel that way and will probably call me a heretic for saying it. Jordan wrote print-cdrom-packages.sh as a yardstick that I use when doing the "split" to guage what people want on the discs for a release. Other than that the squeaky wheel usually get greased first. No offense to David but he's usually one of them not because he's trying to be a pain mind you he just cares a great deal about the release and doesn't mind hounding me until I make sure I get vim for instance on the first disc. Before we go off willy-nilly making changes to this script we need to take some sort of poll (like I did several releases ago) to get a sense for what people feel *must* be on the first disc. The nice-to-haves can go on the other discs. And just so people understand I define must-haves as being those things that absolutely must be present on the first boot of the box. For instance, the kernel, init, and sh are definitely essential for the first boot whereas xspringies and ocaml are not. -steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
