Mr. Kruppa:
Indeed there seems to be a discrepancy between your comments (that the
DVD is inclusive of the documentation) and Mr. Barber, who indicated in his
email to me that the DVD is NOT inclusive of the documentation (only the
three CDs, I did not include his email but can if you wish to see it).
Can you or he clarify this?
Please do read
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.1R/announce.html
"Availability" yourself:
----------------------------------------
dvd1:
Contains everything necessary to install the base FreeBSD
operating system, a collection of pre-built packages, the
documentation, and supports booting into a "livefs" based rescue
mode. This should be all you need if you can burn and use
DVD-sized media.

Greetings,

Dear Sir or Ma'am:
I have tried to search Google and that, but probably am not using the
right conglomerate of keywords to find what I want to know, so I am resigned
to asking you.
I recently noticed that there are quite a number of DVDs and CD-ROMs out
for FreeBSD, and I'd like to give it a try. So I downloaded the amd64-all
torrent, but I fear I likely have more ISOs than I need.
Does the "dvd1" include the contents of the docs?
What are all the other ISOs?
I saw no documentation on the freebsd.org site descriptive what I am
asking.
7.1-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso
This is only a very minimalistic Operating System/Installation
CD, nearly everything has to be downloaded from the internet.
You should know what you do, when you use this.
7.1-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso
7.1-RELEASE-amd64-disc2.iso
7.1-RELEASE-amd64-disc3.iso
7.1-RELEASE-amd64-docs.iso
These are the release CD's. You will need at least disc1. The
others contain collections of useful software and information.
7.1-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso
Contains the stuff of the four CD's
7.1-RELEASE-amd64-livefs.iso
A live-file-system, i.e. you can run the OS from CD without
installing it to your harddisk - not very complete, but nice for
testing.
Thanks in advance, and have a blessed day.
Greetings
Uli.
