Just one more question: You said to put disc1 in a directory called FreeBSD. Mt question is: where do I put the disc2 contents: in some directory or in the root of cdrom? The 8 hours that took `make release` don't included 3 hours for the first `make buildworld`, so total is 11 hours. Someday I'll buy a faster computer! Thanks again, -- -- Nuno Teixeira Dir.
