For recent releases where recent is older than 6.1 there was a docs/ directory on disc2 that had all the documentation in a readable format for all the supported languages. For 6.1 we needed to trim that down to just English because the set of packages we considered critical plus the docs/ directory overflowed disc2. For 6.2 we moved the docs/ directory to its own ISO and went back to having all supported languages because, yet again, KDE and GNOME had ... umm ... grown. :-) We'll work on making this a bit easier to find but in a nutshell: - bootonly ISO contains the bare minimum needed to do an install, you will wind up getting "errors" if you for example have sysinstall try to load *any* packages off the CD, etc. It's basically geared up for booting off the local CD to get sysinstall started but then getting extra packages and whatnot through the network. - disc1 ISO contains what you need to make it through a normal install with no errors as long as you don't select any "extra" packages when you get to the point sysinstall asks if you want to browse through some pre-build packages (i.e. it contains the Xorg packages, perl, the Linux emulation but almost no other packages). It can also support going into Rescue mode with a "live FS". - disc2 contains the bulk of the extra pre-build packages available if you're going to do a CD-only install. As time has gone on we've needed to eject more and more packages from this disc because the KDE/GNOME meta-packages keep growing. - docs contains the documentation in a human-readable format (as opposed to the broken up tarball format that's on disc1 and gets used if you tell sysinstall to install the documentation). So... Most people would be interested in disc1 and disc2. --=20 Ken Smith - From there to here, from here to | kensmith@cse.buffalo.edu there, funny things are everywhere. | - Theodore Geisel | --=-KyjmNIt6ILK5erwwsFyl Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBFk9HS/G14VSmup/YRAsm5AKCQJj5ktX8JEHNjXEqqbX/++Fbf6gCfRq7b 61pXDZfr9otthZtldwZyeYs= =CBuX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-KyjmNIt6ILK5erwwsFyl--
