    I looked around the website for a list of disc contents but couldn't
    seem to locate one. I was almost positive that it was going to be
    included as part of this release since it was discussed during the
    last release.

    In any event, I had downloaded the discs for advocacy purposes and
    did an "ls -RFla" of each disc:

    The full installation disc:
        http://myfreebsd.homeunix.net/4.10-R-i386-disc1-contents.txt

    The recovery (live-filesystem) disc:
        http://myfreebsd.homeunix.net/4.10-R-i386-disc2-contents.txt

    The mini-installation (no 3rd party packages) disc:
        http://myfreebsd.homeunix.net/4.10-R-i386-miniinst-contents.txt

    Note that the mini-installation disc only contains the base
    operating system; ie, no XFree86, no window managers, no packages.

    The recovery disc (disc2) is not needed during the installation
    and does not contain any packages.

    If you have need to ask further questions about the discs, the
    freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list would be the best place
    to ask.

    Best regards,

    Randy
