>Originator:     Drew Derbyshire
>Release:        FreeBSD 2.2.6-RELEASE i386
>Organization:
Kendra Electronic Wonderworks
>Environment:

	Installing 2.2.6 from Walnut Creek CD-ROM's

>Description:

	In attempting to locate the ports collection on the 2.2.6
	CD-ROM collection, inspection of the CD-ROM labels and
	coversheets reveal a failure to provide even a one-line
	summary of the each CD-ROM contents.  This makes handling
	the CD-ROM's unfriendly under FreeBSD, since it
	insert/mount/browse/umount/remove is a lengthy process and
	requires root access for the mount/umount sequence.

	The existing comment "Please see README.TXT" doesn't cut
	it with a collection this large, to examine all four disks
	requires a total of 20 steps.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Open CD-ROM package.  Examine disks for contents.  Start
	mounting.

>Fix:
	
	Provide reasonable summary one line summary of actual
	contents of disk on each label, and also in the booklet.
	Booklet summary of disk contents should be slightly longer, if
	needed.

Responsible-Changed-Why:  
Hopefully Jordan's connections at Walnut Creek will help with this 
on future releases.

State-Changed-When: Sun May 10 17:24:17 PDT 1998 
State-Changed-Why:  
This was an intentional change and will remain this way until 
such time as the various contents stabilize a bit more.  There is 
a delay from the time that artwork is sent off to the time the CD  
is actually made (due to various lead times) and last-minute changes 
to the contents only invalidate the labels, causing even MORE confusion.
