Obtaining the full 4 CDs?

[Roland Giesler]

Maybe someone can explain how to actually use the three additional CD's in
the set, since I've installed FreeBSD a number of times now, with the full
ports collection and quite a number of the other distributions, but I've
never needed the extra CD's?  I alos don't find anything in the manuals re
this or maybe I'm using the wrong terms in my search?

Regards

Roland Giesler

The thing is... my understanding (due to something someone else told me) was
that the 4 CD set included a great deal of the source for the ports. This is
a big draw to me as I was told I could just install all 4 CDs, then whenever
a port changed
 I would just get the changed files via CVS, instead of the whole thing.
This would be nice since I'm on a modem. Is there somewhere to download the
other CDs in ISO format until I can buy them? I have access to broadband,
just not at home.

> Well I just checked at bsdcentral.com, and you can get the 4.9 install
disk but it seems that all they have in the four disk sets is 4.8, and 5.1.
You may want to contact them and see if you can get a four disk set through
them. It's been
some time since I have done business with them but in the past they were
real good to do business with. If you have a broadband connection it might
be the best way just to get the install disk, because then the rest of the
system would be all up to da
te.
