Yuck, that didn't come through right but I'm not going to fix it. Anyway, if you want to cut your own CD (which isn't as easy as it seems - most people need to make some frisbees first) just make a copy of the FTP site. You don't need the packages or ports unless you want them. I generally recommend (highly) that you buy the WC CD so you get the whole thing in one package. What do you use for your NIC on a T1, anyway? :) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
