Let me say it was a little tricky. When I downloaded all the
files, it was too large to put on 1 CD! Which was very strange
since the official CD has all the i386 stuff on one CD (and so
does cheapbytes and others)!
It didn't take me long to realize that I downloaded about TWICE
the amount of data you get on the official CD! So I had to
split it up, but which files go on which CD? Luckily Ted had
purchased the official CD, so I had him send me a listing of
all the files on it. I took the list, and wrote a script to
split up the files.
Now _MY_ OpenBSD 2.9 ISO is a TWO CD set, and has about TWICE
the number of packages that come with the OFFICIAL CD!!!
P.S. To be clear, the official CD is a two CD set, but it
covers multiple platforms which only leaves a fraction of
the space available for each platform. My 2 CD set is for
the Intel/AMD platform ONLY.
