The advantage is simply this - when you /stand/sysinstall and want to add more ports etc, it reads off of the last 2 CD's and installes them - opposed to the cd /usr/ports/(somedir) make install clean which downloads them off the net. well worth the investment if bandwith is an issue > > TIA, > Robert > > > > _______________________________________________ > 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" -- Best regards, Chris ______________________________________________________________________ PGP Fingerprint = D976 2575 D0B4 E4B0 45CC AA09 0F93 FF80 C01B C363 PGP Mail encouraged / preferred - keys available on common key servers ______________________________________________________________________ 01010010011000010110001101100101011100100101100000000000
