Would someone please please please publicly document what all the various 6.x ISO images are, which of them are (or might be) needed for a fresh installation (assuming poor or nonexistent network connectivity), and which have overlapping bits. If this is actually explained anywhere that's supposed to be obvious, I have yet to find it. For anyone who's new to FreeBSD, it's challenging enough to try to figure out where to start. For someone who's been part of the FreeBSD community for a number of years, it's even more confusing, since there have been some fairly radical changes. (BTW, what's this "docs" ISO? That wasn't around in previous releases...) Also, as 64-bit CPUs become more commonplace, "which discs do I need" probably requires a more in-depth explanation. -=EPS=-
