  1. Re:Where did the devil put the .iso images... on OpenBSD 3.7 Released · · Score: 1

    This should help you out. It is also possible to download the floppy and install over nfs or by having the installer fetch the files directly over the web. You can also use your method, which is no where near the hassle of linux from scratch.

    Some spare cash is always nic so I took up growing marijuana. It's great, nothing to do with computers, is lucrative, and has fairly low startup costs. Just don't make the mistake that you need all the fancy lights and hydro stuff right away. Remember weed is a weed and will grow almost anywhere.
