Getting a OpenBSD ISO?

Post #222,313 by broomberg 9/1/05 6:09:56 PM Reply	Getting a OpenBSD ISO? I want to play with OpenBSD. So I go to the web site: [link\|http://www.openbsd.com/\|http://www.openbsd.com/] and then go to "Getting", ie: [link\|http://www.openbsd.com/orders.html\|http://www.openbsd.com/orders.html]. Huh? I want to DL an ISO, not give them any money. If I like it, money may follow. So I then track down the DL sites: [link\|http://www.openbsd.com/ftp.html\|http://www.openbsd.com/ftp.html] which then leads me to [link\|ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/\|ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/], when I then go to the most recent 3.7/i386 dir. So I then start reading the INSTALL.i386, which says multiple times that I should be installing from a CDROM. But the "*.iso" images in that dir are tiny, they seem to be all boot/driver stuff, not the "installable package" cd that I THINK I'm looking for. Have I missed something? I DLed the whole dir to my local system, assuming I'm going to end up setting up a local FTP install point, but I'd prefer not to. Any hints?

However, they do allow third parties to create and ISO image and offer it, but it must have a different layout than the "official one". -- Steve Edited by Steve Lowe Sept. 1, 2005, 06:22:23 PM EDT Expand All History

But you can disable them if you want to. Remember this is the rc-conf style of init. Not the sysvinit style. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* [image\|http://www.danasoft.com/vipersig.jpg\|\|\|\|]
