I am going to guess, that (1) as ia64 has quite a small installed base as compared with i386 amd64, and (2) as disks 2 3 are merely packages (many of which may not build for ia64 in any case (I do not know, excoriate me not for my ignorance) and utterly unneeded to install the basic system, the maintainers, developers, or packagers may see building and distributing such a large number of rarely used or perhaps broken packages as a poor use of their time. Summary: those are empty iso images and appear to be so on all of the mirrors I checked. Don't worry about it, use disk1 to install and build your 3rd party applications from ports. -- -- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Yes, that's how it is been released. Disc 2 and 3 are prebuilt programs - and apparently there were none bundled. You can build all programs you want via ports. If they're not compatible, then it won't build.

Do you actually have an Itanium processor? They were pretty much only used in high-end multi-CPU enterprise boxes costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. I'm not sure the majority of ports were ever built for ia64, which might be why disk 2 3 are so small. Most people should be going for amd64 images instead, which can also be used with Intel EM64T (aka x86-64 or Intel64) CPUs such as P4/Xeon/ Core/Core2/Core i5/i7...
