Hi, I wonder if there will be a 3rd and 4th disk (additional Packages) to 4.8-Release ... or won't there like in 5.0-Release. Thanks! Zheyu -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ Bitte l?cheln! Fotogalerie online mit GMX ohne eigene Homepage!

I've never read a posting which explains why the ftp site doesn't have a full size disc 2 and is missing disk 3 & 4 for v5.0 now it appears that 4.8 has gone the same route. Of _course_ vendors are free to make as many discs as they want.... but why has the ftp site been trimmed? THAT'S the question he was asking.

I remember when I had NeXTStep we had quad-fat disks to support all architectures. I can see this could cause ports problems as some have binary pieces in them.> End of freebsd-stable Digest, Vol 3, Issue 2-- Bill Vermillion - bv @ wjv . com
