(Sorry, lost track of quoting) The style is okay, but I would suggest rearranging the order to demphasize the DVD with its quickly-obsolete packages. Media type is very important and should probably be mentioned first. >> FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso - CD: Installer, FreeBSD OS >> FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-i386-memstick.img - USB: Installer, FreeBSD OS, image for memory sticks >> FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-i386-bootonly.iso - CD: Installer, installs from network >> FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-i386-dvd1.iso.xz - DVD: Installer, FreeBSD OS, many pre-compiled packages (large file) >> FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-i386-livefs.iso - CD: FreeBSD live CD for repairs > > For more information, consult the FreeBSD Handbook: > http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/install-diff-media.html > Anybody downloading the Bootonly image should already know what they're getting into. A lot of the people who needlessly download the DVD would be better off with bootonly. It's not any harder to install.
