no. you're correct. no install sets (base40.tgz, comp40.tgz, etc) or packages are in the cdXY.iso. > From what I understand, > I must either do what I did, or burn 2 CDs, one for the boot process and the > other one for packages, right? seeing as how you mentioned already having gone through 3 CDs, that may have turned out to have been more economical <G>. the kernel image on the cdXY.iso uses an in-kernel ramdisk and by the time you're at the 'Install Upg Shell?', it no longer needs physical access to the media off which it was booted. at that point you could pop out the cd??.iso CD and pop in a second CD that you made who has the install sets (just burn the whole OpenBSD/4.0/i386/* dir to avoid forgetting something). when the install gets to the point of looking for the install sets, if you tell it that the files are on CD, it will ask you which cdrom drive (in case you have more than one) and then it will mount it and you can select which sets to install. -- jared
