Well, I'll admit that this one was a little lean, but that's because its focus was a little narrower - get FreeBSD 2.0 out to all the users who are asking for it! There was a lot of user impatience for it, believe me! Sure, it was easier to come along afterwards and do another CD with more stuff on it, using the extra time to find things to fill the space up, but those who wanted FreeBSD 2.0 _quickly_ bought the Walnut Creek product. For the 2.1 CDROM I expect to have both: The first FreeBSD 2.1 CD to market and the best. And it will be full, I assure you! :-) Jordan
