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.

Oliver
