No, it wouldn't. The project has already contemplated making DVD
releases, but the fact is what we have fits currently on what we ship.
Having said that CD sales are lagging badly this release, and are
threatening
the financial health of the project. If you want OpenBSD to continue, you
should be buying
official CD's. You certainly should not be worried about download volume, and
misguided
attempts to make your own releases and sell them only put the project in more
financial
duress. You want to help? go on to the CD site and order 20 or 40 and resell in
the
philippines - Don't try to pirate the artwork to make your own release and
screw everything
up.
