If you're actually installing the CD, then you can flip over to the Emergency Holographic Shell at the first sign of trouble and say "Hmmm, I wonder if this behavior is documented anywhere", that hopefully leading you to the /dist/README file also. :-) And no, for the record, I don't consider this ideal and if you want a long and painful explanation on the whole subject then please look through Dejanews or something since I recently covered the subject in great detail over in comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc. :) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
