No. ISO 2 contains: "A ``live filesystem'', which is used in conjunction with the ``Repair'' facility in sysinstall. A copy of the FreeBSD CVS tree. As many additional third party packages as would fit on the disc." It's probably not a bad idea to have lying around in case your system ever gets hosed. It will also allow you to install /usr/src without downloading the entire tree. Hope that helps. Cheers, David Adam --- zanchey@ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au
