Because we can burn them to DVD for read-only optical and we can use 2= GB, 4GB, or greater-sized USB Thumbs. @ $work we've been able to keep the size of the ISOs down by using sysinsta= ll from an mfsroot. =3D=3D=3D ASIDE: I recently analyzed what we would need to put bsdinstall+bsdconfig i= nto an mfsroot to do similar things as sysinstall...

For example, I once made a multi-GB DVD that contained = 4.11, 8.1-32, 8.1-64, 8.3-32, 8.3-64, 9.0-32, and 9.0-64 (plus several util= ities like memtest86, memtest86+, memtest86+SMP, windiag, Derik's Boot-And-= Nuke, TuffTest Pro, SpinRite, WD Velociraptor FW updates, Seagate SeaTools = (both GUI and Txt version), and yet even more. I think the resulting ISO wa= s about 2.7GB. It fit nicely on a 3GB thumb-drive I had and it burned well = to DVD. It was very nice being able to walk around with one disc or one thu= mb drive and be prepared for anything/everything. (I carry one one me at all times in my coat pocket ^_^) So yeah... >700MB shouldn't be a problem. --=20 Devin _____________ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidentia= l.
