            Bug ID: 257347
           Summary: Using physical DVDs as installation media
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Website
          Assignee: doc@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: grahamperrin@gmail.com

Since use of standard DVDs is no longer applicable: the website and
documentation should be updated, for users' expectations to be met. 



<https://www.freebsd.org/where/>;

"… DVD … sized …"



<https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/bsdinstall/#bsdinstall-installation-media>;

"… size … DVD …" and so on. 



<https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/README.TXT>;

"… DVD ISO images …"

<http://ftp-archive.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/>; is currently
unreachable.

<http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors.html#MIRRORS-CDROM>;
should be updated; avoid the redirection to
<https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/mirrors/#MIRRORS-CDROM>.

<https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/mirrors/#MIRRORS-CDROM>; does not
scroll to the required anchor. Instead,
<https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/mirrors/#mirrors-cdrom>. 



<https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/faq/#where-get>; refers to
<https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/#mirrors/>, which does not redirect
to the intended chapter. 



<https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/faq/#floppy-download>; refers to
<https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/#bsdinstall/>, which does not
redirect to the intended chapter. 



Thanks.

Beyond the freebsd.org domain,
<https://www.freebsdmall.com/cgi-bin/fm/bsddvd13.0?id=dIk3QnYr&mv_pc=85>; is OK;
"… DVD (double sided) …".
