Yes. It has the installer and binary packages for the system and some of the most popular ports. But, if you install over the net which you might want to do it you have a decent connection you only need to download and burn the miniinst.iso. It will do the complete install and it allows you to choose to load the sources and ports, etc via ftp. It works well for me. > > b) what's on disc 2 - ports? More stuff and a system runable from the CD boot (eg not just install). > > c) what is the 'bootonly' disc for? I haven't tried to use that one yet. It is fairly recent in the collection - maybe starting with 5.xxx. Maybe it is a new type of live system on CD. ////jerry > > thanks in advance > _______________________________________________ > 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" > >
