FAQ on install ISO
I was wondering whether this - http://openbsd.org/faq/faq3.html#ISO - FAQ entry should be changed as OpenBSD now does provide ISO for base install?

As every release, many things are changed in the FAQ. Finding and changing the things that need to be changed occupies a LOT of my time between lock and release days. In this release, many, many things will change. That particular entry is already updated in my tree. The ISO stuff is one of the most trivial. EXTREMELY trivial. As in, Of all the things he should be in a panic about, why does he ask about THIS?? However, the publicly available FAQ will be as it is (more-or-less) until release day (Nov. 1, +/-). Nick.

Obvious question because I'm clearly missing something here but this means that with 4.2 there is going to be an OpenBSD provided install ISO (in addition to the boot ISO)?

One of the many things that keeps me buying every release and making a (far too small) donation is the excellent documentation. I can't count the number of times that i was going to post a question to misc@ about something i couldn't figure out, but instead spent an hour reading and solved my problem on my own while gaining a deeper understanding of the software involved.

Re: FAQ on install ISO
Right.. you can do your own with less distribution sets (without X for example), but OpenBSD now releases a base iso for installation, you can found this for the pre-release 4.2 at ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/i386/install42.iso if you wish to try. ps: Don't forget to ask you CD set.

Hi, are you trying to say, that snapshots found on the FTP sites are pre-release of 4.2? They are not. -- Antti Harri
Re: FAQ on install ISO
No? OpenBSD is freezed for new features, new features are being added to -current branch.. I installed the snapshot and it indicate that is OpenBSD 4.2.. so I don't understand, could you please explain it better for me?

The important thing to realize is that snapshots are made from -CURRENT. You're running -CURRENT, not -RELEASE.

Re: FAQ on install ISO
Yes, I'm always reading the documentation, I really think it's very good.. I don't know if I didn't speak right what I was thinking about or I really don't understand. Greg asked if OpenBSD will release a Install ISO, so I pointed him to the install42.iso that is in snapshots dir, these snapshots that are build from the current branch, that why I told it's a pre-release of 4.2 that will be released on november, 1st That's it, sorry for the misunderstood hehehe Celso 2007/9/14, Antti Harri [EMAIL PROTECTED]: On Fri, 14 Sep 2007, Greg Thomas wrote: On 9/14/07, Celso Fernandes [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: No?
