The OpenBSD 2.2 release is available on two CDROMs for $30 USD + postage (plus any required taxes if you live in Canada). They are being shipped daily.

The OpenBSD 2.3 release is expected to start shipping around June 1, 1998. The price is the same as for the 2.2 release. This package can already be ordered through our online ordering system.

The OpenBSD 2.2 package includes:

• The complete install components for NINE architectures: alpha, amiga, arc, hp300, i386, mac68k, mvme68k, pmax, sparc.
• The CD's are bootable on i386, sparc, alpha, and arc.
• A funky CD insert sheet which contains much better installation instructions than OpenBSD 2.1 shipped with.
• A full source tree (ready for AnonCVS use).
• The latest XFree86 binaries for most of the architectures (all except mvme68k)
• The latest XFree86 source code.
• Our own little ports tree (much like the FreeBSD ports tree, but smaller).
• CTM bases for tracking CTM afterwards. This includes a CTM base of the entire OpenBSD CVS repository.
• Two OpenBSD 2.2 stickers included!
• And many other things...

The OpenBSD 2.3 package includes:

• The complete install components for TEN architectures: alpha, amiga, arc, hp300, i386, mac68k, mvme68k, pmax, powerpc. sparc.
• The CD's are bootable on i386, sparc, alpha, powerpc, and arc.
• A funky CD insert sheet which contains much better installation instructions than OpenBSD 2.2 shipped with. The information on this piece of paper makes OpenBSD much easier to install than if you do an FTP install.
• A full source tree (ready for AnonCVS use).
• The latest XFree86 binaries for most of the architectures (all except powerpc). Unlike OpenBSD 2.2, XFree86 is now significantly more easy to install.
• The latest XFree86 source code with small modifications by us to make it prettier.
• Our own little ports tree which has improved a lot since OpenBSD 2.2.
• A very large archive of distfiles which are used by the above-mentioned ports tree to build binaries easier.
• The following pre-build binary packages for most architectures, which are very easy to install directly off the CDROM:
  bash-2.01.1, emacs-20.2, gmake-3.76.1, id-utils-3.2, ircii-2.8.2-epic3.004, pine-3.96, screen-3.7.4, tcsh-6.07.02, unzip-5.3.1.
• Two NEWOpenBSD Stickers included!
• And many other things...

NOTE:
Most of the people who are selling the OpenBSD CDROMs for the OpenBSD project know next to nothing about OpenBSD. They cannot help with technical problems at all. If you need help or advice, you should be using newsgroups (comp.unix.bsd.openbsd.misc), mailing lists, our web pages, IRC, and other internet resources to get your questions answered.

There are a number of ways to order an OpenBSD CDROM.
