Re: ISOs
IT2 Stuart Blake Tener, USNR said: 7.1-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso Contains just enough to get the installer running. This is a network install disc. 7.1-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso This is the required disc to get a base install w/o installing over the/a network. This disc does contain the docs. 7.1-RELEASE-amd64-disc2.iso 7.1-RELEASE-amd64-disc3.iso These contain packages that you can usually add using pkg_add. 7.1-RELEASE-amd64-docs.iso Self explanatory. 7.1-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso IIRC, a conglomeration of discs 1 through 3. 7.1-RELEASE-amd64-livefs.iso This is not a live cd.

Mr. Kruppa: Indeed there seems to be a discrepancy between your comments (that the DVD is inclusive of the documentation) and Mr. Barber, who indicated in his email to me that the DVD is NOT inclusive of the documentation (only the three CDs, I did not include his email but can if you wish to see it).

Re: ISOs
Dear Sir: Sadly, I am forced to admit I actually did read that page, but did not see the informative paragraph you are referencing, until you pointed it out to me! However, armed with all of the responses I have received, and the new understanding I now have, I have moved forward with deleting the other ISO images I do not need, and am readying to burn the DVD image (as that alone will be sufficient for me). It has been quite a long time (seven or so years maybe?) since I last played with BSD (excepting the MacOS based Apple I purchased about 4 years ago). Linux has always been sufficient and more commercially supported for my Unix needs. Though, with ZFS and more products running under FreeBSD, I am for sure interested to evaluate it again. Thanks again for everyone's assistance.

Namely: 5.4-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso 5.4-RELEASE-i386-disc2.iso Disc1 is larger than a standard CD so requires a DVD...so why bother splitting them into disc1 and 2 when both would easily fit on one handy DVD??? Beacuse not everybody can afford a DVD-writer. And FreeBSD is supposed to run on older hardware that doesn't even have a DVD-ROM drive. Releasing DVD images would be a nice feature, but CD images are still necessary for many people.

With as many times as this has been asked, it's been answered just as often what the 2 (or in some cases, 3 and 4) ISO's are for. This could be one of 3 things: 1. A troll. 2. Someone bragging that they have a DVD player/writer. 3. Someone that is just too lazy to search the Questions list. -- Best regards, Chris Information travels more surely to those with a lesser need to know. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
