FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE i386 All-in-One DVD (not 5 CD's)

************************************* IMPORTANT ********************************* This torrent is not an official released version. This is a custom remastered DVD based from extracting and recombining 4 individual CD\'s. I have put disc1, disc2, disc3, AND the docs CD\'s into this 1 custom compilation because the trouble of switching the CD\'s in and out has grown too darn stupid. Therefore I put all packages and installable released material on one DVD totalling 1.7 GB and you NEVER have to switch the DVD out like the CD\'s. Which if you\'ve installed FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE non-standard install, it is absolute horror in juggling discs. This is my own solution from that trouble, and I posted it here for others to also benefit from my trouble, and I will hope you keep your sanity while installing FreeBSD 7.0 from my DVD instead of 4 separate CD\'s and switching them ~60 times throughout installation. I Have deemed 1 DVD much more economical, sane, and efficient, as you do not need 5 discs to install, and it is available offline if you need, compared to using the boot-only minimal CD as a single installation disc. I will also mention I did not modify the install or customize it in ANY way, it is entirely unmodified and is exactly equivalent of the official released install of 7.0. I hope you enjoy this creation, as it has saved my sanity of such a horrible installation routine ever again. Lets hope the core FreeBSD release team releases a DVD either soon or with 7.1-RELEASE :) Verified Checksums: md5sum = 31f0f4b864787783090c6355635e5492 sha256 = d3c0f8f3f94c087dedfc1f7bff2bc6a7dbbad3569dfa1ca50e120a212ca3b078 *********************************************************************************** FreeBSD�® is an advanced operating system for x86 compatible (including Pentium�® and Athlonâ�¢), amd64 compatible (including Opteronâ�¢, Athlonâ�¢64, and EM64T), UltraSPARC�®, IA-64, PC-98 and ARM architectures.

What make is this? I386? amd64? powerpc? alpha? I hope it is the one i need. Could you add the finer details . Thank you.
Thank you kindly for the work in making this. There are thousands looking for a All in one dvd. Freebsd is slow at these things of making distro Dvd's. But that is not the reason why they do not do it. They like to make people pay for the dvd, Through their freebsdmall. In the box set. That isa the reason why they have not supported creating dvds. Which i feel is wrong, because It has always remained free, and it should all be free, with the option to donate or buy the dvd, for convience of not downloading, that said, they are forcing people to buy the dvd and not offering the option to dl it. Not to smart on their part, as they are already lacking up to date packages in their new releases.

I will also be seeding at 100kbs for 3 days on this. Please everyone hold back excitement and help seed instead of just burning and stopping the download right away. Thank you for seeding!

Hello Velocity-AHM I don't know if you missed it but it is the i386 (32 bit) version as stated in the title ;)
"FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE _i386_ All-in-One DVD (not 5 CD's)".
Well I honestly don't know/think the FreeBSD foundation is in control of freebsdmall, I always thought of it as a parasitic compacy solely making money off of BSD products, but at least there is a vendor.
And considering up-to-date packages, it is the way of FreeBSD, it is not Gentoo unstable, or Debian Experimental or openSUSE Factory, this is the most stable, rock solid, reliable server operating system on the planet. And i would rather it be thse three things than bleeding edge and unstable, iit is only what you really like, but I believe NetBSD updates more frequently than FreeBSD for released 3rd party packages.
I'm so glad I finally started the 1st seeders other than myself, this torrent is getting SO active , healthy and fast with all our upstream bandwidth :) Lets keep it up! ENJOY !

TESTED- Working perfect. I tested this on another box, and it is working perfectly, as well no errors as many saw in previous installs, when installing the main install and packages. This release seems to have fixed all those. Awesome. It also installs much faster by dvd. The install took about 20 minutes. Thta included 50 packages of extra software at the end of install. I would reccomend getting some freebsd ebooks from here . Also usb mouse ok, but usb wireless logitech seems a bit of patching or config in rc.conf is needed for those. the ebooks on freebsd will show you exactly how to set that up. Also if you have nvidia cards, There are new drivers in sysinstall! :)
Get your devil on , and get this release! Please seed!!! I cannot stress that enough. I am still seeding at 100kbs. and will continue for the weekend. For those that want graphical gui, and X . just install kde or gnome base in sysinstall the packages ports. when you boot up for the first time, log in as root then type kdm (kde) or gdm (gnome) to get graphical login screen for kde or gnome .

Works great, but VM users: this takes forever to install.

Thanks much for posting this sir...you saved me a great deal of time! Worked like a charm. Now only if BIOS and BSD both did LBA with disks and RAIDs the install wouldn't be so confusing.

Big thanks for this. I can't understand why the FreeBSD guys won't do this :(.

PhoeniXII (2008-12-26)

seems like the FreeBSD peeps liked the idea, in the new rc there is a dvd also ;)
