There are already others rollings DVDs of BSD, I can't remember URLs, look on maybe DesktopBSD.org based on FreeBSD or ? & Others been doing it for years too for commercial sale. As FreeBSD can't give up rolling CDs, rolling DVDs would just be More work for the re@ team, so it's their choice if they want to do yet more work. I guess they might not as they've just pushed out 6.3 & still working on 7.0 :-) Nothing to stop others writing scripts on top of or diffs to src/release to generate DVDs, ( I did similar years back for my own CD set extensions) but it's work maintaining changes to src/release & ports build, & then you need to distribute your images. More unpaid work. Would be attractive if FreeBSD were a a commercial company. (& some of re@ work I think for CD/DVD distributors), so maybe already available via eg FreeBSDMall or whoever else if you pay $$. Additionaly, free ftp mirror sites might not be keen on larger incremental loads of DVD size rather than CD size. Click via Getting FreeBSD http://www.freebsd.org/where.html to http://www.freebsdmall.com/cgi-bin/fm and you can "Pre-Order FreeBSD 7.0 DVD" BTW Anyone know if Dimitry should change his mailer sender config &/ or If I need a config tweak to my EXmh-2.7.2 On FreeBSD-6.2-RELEASE, to avoid the mess above on clicking "Reply-All". (No I'm not looking for "Abandon EXMH, use my better XYZ", but if there's a config tweak to EXMH ? ) -- Julian Stacey. BSD Unix Linux Net Consultant, Munich. http://berklix.com
