            Bug ID: 257347
           Summary: Using physical DVDs as installation media
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People

         Component: Website
          Assignee: doc@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: grahamperrin@gmail.com

Since use of standard DVDs is no longer applicable: the website and
documentation should be updated, for users' expectations to be met.

"… DVD … sized …"



<https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/bsdinstall/#bsdinstall-installation-media>

"… size … DVD …" and so on.

Beyond the freebsd.org domain,
