Hello, I thought first about the same but I came to conclusion that there is no really need for it. As far as I know the aim is to provide you basic framework which you can customize as you like. The first CD is more than you need to have fully runable FreeBSD system and second is basically only KDE. There is problem with Linux for which downloading and installin some programs that need lots of dependencies is horrible, so they simply put everything on huge DVD to make it possible to use for average user. On FreeBSD installing programs is much easier, automatic and done for you if you use ports or packages.
It should also be also easier to mainstain and release new versions of FreeBSD in two CD containging just the neccesery tools than taking care of few gigs of apps with each release, and theese releases are much more often than those of Linux. It' just my personal opinion so the official intention may be quite different. Regards, Rafal Grodzinski On 14/11/06, D. Mella <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Good Afternoon, I'm new to freebsd, and I'm really excited about this whole new world. I've been reading, and looking on the internet, and I'm wondering why there isn't a freebsd downloadable version in DVD. -- David Mella [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
