Yea. Just to confirm, the 4-CD sets going out from WRS will indeed
have a 'tools' directory, I've emailed Brian from freebsd-services to
make sure he's read this thread and remembers to add the Tools
directory for their products as well. The tools directory is on the
FTP site, it will be on the replicated CDs, and I really think that
pushing up another ISO right now will get more complaints from hubs@
than the missing tools directory generated in the first place.

Yea, I'm sure our tech support guys would have been swamped if they
had to walk users through the usage of a hex editor or DEBUG.COM, to
manually craft the floppies in DOS. ;)
