OpenBSD 4.1 DVD ISO for grabs!
OpenBSD is one cool BSD distribution which emphasizes on security and portability (yes it runs on various platforms). Currently OpenBSD is at version 4.1; released on May 1, 2007. I have known about the distro for couple of years, but so far, I haven’t get the chance to grab the official CD nor the official CD ISO image from the net. Why? Its their way of distributing the distro, so that users will need to buy the official CDs thus funding the ongoing OpenBSD development. Usually, what I do is grab the so-called ‘unofficial’ ISO images from various sites on the internet… (doing a bit of googling will help). So far, all the ISO i’ve downloaded is workable and I manage to built a working OpenBSD box.
For years, it has always been CD-based ISO images for me, until recently when I found this site - http://ftp.linuxcenter.ru/iso/OpenBSD-4.1/; which provide a DVD-based ISO image (around 4.7GB in size) of the ‘unofficial’ OpenBSD 4.1! So, now I don’t have to download the software/application CD ISO image coz I can just grab the software from the DVD! Way cool… .
but the 4.1 source packages are now about 5.5GB which does not fit on 1 cd. What did they leave out to make it fit?
Not sure bro… I didn’t install everything myself… did you test installing OpenBSD from the DVD?
