Yes, it's called the mini-iso and is basically the first CD w/o any ports or packages. The last one I built for current that didn't include Xfree86 was about 200 Meg. That also didn't include the ports collection or any of the docs. -- John Baldwin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
