Given that the test cycle is so short, I'd rather the bandwidth early on go to downloading a small ISO image and test, rather than downloading a larger ISO image w/packages (which are usually at least the size of the OS, if not larger), and getting less test time. Given that most of the 'bugs' with packages usually revolve around dependencies missing, or problems with the unpackaging, I think we can put them off a few days, and get a number of OS bugs shaken out first. -Brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-qa" in the body of the message
