Alas, even things like kermit belong into this category. And I forgot to remove them from the INDEX file, which is what's *really* causing all this confusion. People just didn't see entries for the packages they didn't have before. :) Needless to say, I did it right for the most recent FreeBSD CD (2.2-961014-SNAP) and, now that it's branded in my brain, I hope not to forget for future CDs. :-) -- - Jordan Hubbard President, FreeBSD Project
