The FreeBSD release process doesn't build an ISO larger than a CD. For FreeBSD/sun4v I'm working on adding a live DVD as an optional addition to the things that the release build currently does. Whether DVD images will ever be available for download will most likely depend on one or more companies providing extra bandwidth and server space. I can't imagine the current mirrors wanting to host a sun4v DVD of 4 GB for the limited number of users. i386 may be a different story. -- John Birrell _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
