And it seems to have been put together with a lot of haste; the title
on the jewel box inlay reads "JAUNARY 1994" -- two typos in two words!

Anyway, I'm glad that both NetBSD and FreeBSD are available on CD-ROM.
I like the InfoMagic BSDisc, but I'd prefer it to be NetBSD-only, and
have some more NetBSD-related stuff on it [read: ready-to-run
packages].



Happy new year -- Volker
