DVD-R dates to 1997; cheap USB flash devices are now pervasive. Maybe
it's time to move on from CD.
Becoming anecdotal now, but my fairly old computer has a (BIOS) bug which
brakes booting from USB devices. It hangs when it boots with a USB stick
in it.
With the bootonly ISO I upgraded it from 9.3-PRERELEASE to 11-BETA1. By
just copying /boot/kernel from the CD to the harddisk. :-) I know I have
to do more for a proper upgrade, but the ZFS version on disk was to new
for the 9.3 kernel, by a human mistake. LOL

Ronald.
Best,

Hi,
Just downloaded the amd64 BETA1 ISO (873MB) and tried to burn a CD on
Windows 10. It complained that the ISO is too big for my 700 MB CD-r.
The bootonly iso (281MB) burns and runs ok.
Regards,
Ronald.
