Disk 1 of the 4.6.2 release contains the "install" functions for FreeBSD 4.6.2, including the various distribution installation options. Disk 2 is the bootable "live" 4.6.2 file system, absolutely invaluable in repairing a wayward FreeBSD OS The other 2 disks contain mainly .src files and binary package distributions of "add on" programs. The Disk 1 and Disk 2 .iso's of FreeBSD contain the actual OS (the FreeBSD 4.6.2 release) Disks 3 and 4 have not changed since the 4.6-RELEASE version of the OS and don't require updating. In summary (and others will surely jump in if I'm wrong), You need Disk 1 and Disk 2 (the .iso's) from the 4.6.2 folder and, to complete the set, you need the Disk 3 and disk 4 .iso's from 4.6-RELEASE Tim Kellers CPE/NJIT On Wed, 21 Aug 2002, Akthar Hussain wrote: > Hi, > > can any one tell me what each disk containing ? > > and what are the disk exactly I need? > > because there are 4 disks are there in the net for 4.6 and two disks for > 4.6.2 > > I need to install all feature of FreeBSD including gui ( kde and gnome) > > the disk's are found in web. > > 4.6 > 1.4.6-disc1.iso > 2.4.6-disc2.iso > 3.4.6-disc3.iso > 4.4.6-disc.iso > > for 4.6.2 > 1.4.6.2-disc1.iso > 2.4.6.2-disc.iso > > I don't want to unnecessarily download junk. > > Thanks > ah. > > 4. > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
