Dear Sir:
Sadly, I am forced to admit I actually did read that page, but did not
see the informative paragraph you are referencing, until you pointed it out
to me!
However, armed with all of the responses I have received, and the new
understanding I now have, I have moved forward with deleting the other ISO
images I do not need, and am readying to burn the DVD image (as that alone
will be sufficient for me).
It has been quite a long time (seven or so years maybe?) since I last
played with BSD (excepting the MacOS based Apple I purchased about 4 years
ago). Linux has always been sufficient and more commercially supported for
my Unix needs. Though, with ZFS and more products running under FreeBSD, I
am for sure interested to evaluate it again.
Thanks again for everyone's assistance.
V/R,
Stuart

Mr. Kruppa:Please do read
Indeed there seems to be a discrepancy between your comments (that the
DVD is inclusive of the documentation) and Mr. Barber, who indicated in his
email to me that the DVD is NOT inclusive of the documentation (only the
three CDs, I did not include his email but can if you wish to see it).
Can you or he clarify this?
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.1R/announce.html
"Availability" yourself:
----------------------------------------
dvd1:
Contains everything necessary to install the base FreeBSD
operating system, a collection of pre-built packages, the
documentation, and supports booting into a "livefs" based rescue
mode. This should be all you need if you can burn and use
DVD-sized media.

Greetings,
Uli.

Dear Sir or Ma'am:This is only a very minimalistic Operating System/Installation
I have tried to search Google and that, but probably am not using the
right conglomerate of keywords to find what I want to know, so I am
resigned
to asking you.
I recently noticed that there are quite a number of DVDs and CD-ROMs out
for FreeBSD, and I'd like to give it a try. So I downloaded the amd64-all
torrent, but I fear I likely have more ISOs than I need.
Does the "dvd1" include the contents of the docs?
What are all the other ISOs?
I saw no documentation on the freebsd.org site descriptive what I am
asking.
7.1-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso
CD, nearly everything has to be downloaded from the internet.
You should know what you do, when you use this.
7.1-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.isoThese are the release CD's. You will need at least disc1. The
7.1-RELEASE-amd64-disc2.iso
7.1-RELEASE-amd64-disc3.iso
7.1-RELEASE-amd64-docs.iso
others contain collections of useful software and information.
7.1-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.isoContains the stuff of the four CD's
7.1-RELEASE-amd64-livefs.isoA live-file-system, i.e. you can run the OS from CD without
installing it to your harddisk - not very complete, but nice for
testing.
Thanks in advance, and have a blessed day.
Greetings
Uli.
