I think most people install over the net and so only need the CD (DVD) to boot and set up sysinstall. Then there is no swapping of disks and you get the latest in ports.

But, if you do not have an adequate internet connection, this becomes less practical, unfortunately. ////jerry > > Just a thought. > > Thanks, > > David. > > -- > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
