Well, we all know that Jordan worked long and hard on the install code and did all sorts of tricks to keep it to one floppy. Nonetheless, I think that this is an important selling point. Also, from a technical standpoint, there's no reason why a single floppy can't reach out to the installation media and bring in any code that won't fit. This may well be an opportunity to leapfrog Linux once again. --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
