Well, I have them both :-) The only part the InfoMagic CD is missing seems to be the souce code of XFree86. All other parts (ports and packages) seem to be identical. But: the Infomagic has the X11R6 (Xconsortium) tar files. Plus: InfoMagic has the binaries and souces for NetBSD for i386, mac68k, amiga and sparc platforms. Plus: usenet articles of the comp.386bsd.* groups. BTW: the InfoMagic CD is almost full (689 MB), whereas the Walnut Creek contains only 417 MB (it's one of the smallest WC CDs I ever had). I'm happy to answer further questions you may have. Robert
