Maybe It's worth thinking of releasing OpenBSD as bootable CDR images for
platforms that support it. It could make OpenBSD much more popular between
people that like quick installing just like Solaris or FreeBSD. On the other
hand installing {Net,Open}BSD (as I tried on sparc and i386) is a really
good thing, one could learn more during this operation.
Yes, this is going to happen soon. We're going to be selling these images
on these little clear plastic round disks ;-)
The image files are pretty amazingly huge, considering everything else we've
packed onto there.
