Thanks, yeah; eventually, I didn't get *exactly* what I wanted on the cd,
but too much is better than too little...

Now my main tasks have been learning the disk label program... heh, and
I consider myself a linux fdisk/mbr expert, disklabel is hard, particularly
when not "just using the whole disk"


Per Theo's request to test the 3.6 openbsd iso
http://www.monkey.org/openbsd/archive/tech/0408/msg00331.html
(which should be in all the snapshot mirrors now...)

and my desire to learn new stuff (while not making coasters), anybody
got comments/notes on setting up a PXE (network installer) based on the
iso filesystem? (have done similar under linux... so the server is not
so much a problem as exactly what to put in it)
