I'm somewhat confused as to what the DVD should include and in what  
order.  When I make  a release and include docs which I normally  
don't, I end up with 5 cdrom images that I can't directly relate to  
Dru's article.  The rest seems to be straight forward.

I see that the snapshots are the same:

8.0-CURRENT-200803-i386-bootonly.iso	ISO	36320 KB	03/12/08
8.0-CURRENT-200803-i386-disc1.iso	ISO	408378 KB	03/12/08
8.0-CURRENT-200803-i386-disc2.iso	ISO	364 KB	03/12/08
8.0-CURRENT-200803-i386-docs.iso	ISO	252906 KB	03/12/08
8.0-CURRENT-200803-i386-livefs.iso	ISO	223078 KB	03/12/08

My question is which of these would be recommended to include in the  
DVD and in what order?  Dru doesn't mention the livefs or bootonly and  
has a disc3.  I guess I could download the 7.0 release, mount and  
compare.. . . . . but there must be other clueless folks that wonder  
about this also.

Thanks,
