I just got my FreeBSD 2.0.5R CD from Walnut Creek yesterday, and was
surprised to see it is a DOUBLE CD. Disc 1 is essentially everything in
the FTP archive EXCEPT the "des" and "UPDATES" directories. Disc 2 is
labelled "Live File System", and appears to be what a system would look
like if EVERYTHING were installed (again, EXCEPT "des").

I didn't expect Disc 2, and am still kinda confused as to what I'll
ever do with it since I've got the full sources and the packages I
want already installed... not that I'm complaining! ;v)  GREAT STUFF!
