Worth a try?However I see : FreeBSD-15.0-BETA4-amd64-dvd1.iso 5150257152 2025-Oct-31 12:38 FreeBSD-15.0-BETA4-amd64-dvd1.iso.xz 4276839812 2025-Oct-31 12:38 Now the dvd1 image seems a tad large for an actual DVD media. I think this has been the case for a very long time now. Why is the DVD image so large? Can something/anything be trimmed out?HI DennisBeta3 did not have the KDE Packages and was 4 GB . BETA4has the KDE packages and is 4.8 GB Just 100 MB to large for a standard DVD of 4.7 GBI looked at the cost of DVD-R media and DVD-DL ( Double Layer ) media at Amazon . And prices is very similar for 50 DVD & DVD-DLspindle packs. There is no economic reason for not buying 8.5 GB DVD-DL media .SO its possible to put even more packages on a DVD-DL_ISO ( Up to8,5 GB ) which would make offline installation a lot easier.
All thats needed is to Document that DVD-DL media is requiredfor the DVD-DL_ISO Regards
