Right.

Yes.

That's why I create them.  :)

There is one:

-rw-rw-r--  1 inof  bsd  201242624 Dec 05 17:57 4.2-install.iso
-rw-rw-r--  1 inof  bsd  191283200 Dec 05 19:58 4.2-livefs.iso
-rw-rw-r--  1 inof  bsd   88379392 Dec 05 18:16 4.2-minimum.iso

Well, OK, the "minimum" one contains a bit more than just
"bin".  It also contains the catpages, compat*, crypto,
ports and the kernel sources, but no more.  I thought that
these are valuable enough to be included.  These are the
sizes (in Kbytes):

5469    catpages
557     compat1x
349     compat20
470     compat21
1211    compat22
1058    compat3x
10143   crypto
10787   ports
10428   src (kernel sources only)

OK, so leaving those off would save about 40 Mbyte of those
88 Mbytes of the minimum ISO.  Hm.  Sounds like a good deal.
I'll think about it.

Regards
   Oliver
