One source for *BSD on a cd-rom is the BSDisc...
Very soon now, cgd is planning to post a FAQ to the announce group
which will contain information about the various distribution media
available with *BSD; however, though I sent him my entry several weeks
ago, some of the other CD-ROM/floppy publishers are being pretty slow
about getting the information to him. Get with it, folks, so we can
stop answering this question every other week! ;-)
For those who aren't familiar with the BSDisc, I'll append a short
summary. For those who are familiar, or don't want to see anything
vaguely commercial, hit 'n' now... ;-)
The BSDisc Vol 1 includes FreeBSD-1.0, NetBSD-0.9, XFree86-2.0, X11R5
source, BSD News archive, the Net/2 FAQ, and lots of "ports" and
"packages".
The BSDisc is especially well suited to *BSD users who want to get
each new release conveniently and affordably. We plan to ship 3-4
issues per year, depending on release schedules of the various BSDs.
The price for Subscribers is $19.50 per issue, and for non-subscribers
it's $35.00 per issue. (Add $3.50 S&H in the US, and $8 for Int'l).
For further details, or if you'd like an order form, send email to:
<bsdisc-info@grilled.cs.wisc.edu>
