Can you point me to where "the Project" made this decision? This didn't make it to the handbook either. <quote> 2.13.1 Creating an installation CDROM As part of each release, the FreeBSD project makes available five CDROM images (``ISO images''). These images can be written (``burned'') to CDs if you have a CD writer, and then used to install FreeBSD. If you have a CD writer, and bandwidth is cheap, then this is the easiest way to install FreeBSD. </quote> What exactly is "the effort involved". The packages are already built, right? -- ian j hart Quoth the raven, bite me! Salem Saberhagen (Episode LXXXI: The Phantom Menace)
