Well, I'll admit that this one was a little lean, but that's because its
focus was a little narrower - get FreeBSD 2.0 out to all the users who
are asking for it!  There was a lot of user impatience for it, believe me!
Sure, it was easier to come along afterwards and do another CD with more
stuff on it, using the extra time to find things to fill the space up,
but those who wanted FreeBSD 2.0 _quickly_ bought the Walnut Creek
product.

For the 2.1 CDROM I expect to have both:  The first FreeBSD 2.1 CD to market
and the best.  And it will be full, I assure you! :-)
