  Ok, I've been convinced ... we'll keep the CD boot stuff.  Apparently recent boot code changes did break it, I'll get it fixed today.  Hopefully today, if it turns out to be what I think it is (a segmentation issue with the BIOS call).

          I too find the iso image quite useful and would appreciate if it stayed.

                It would be the killing blow to DragonFlyBSD on any virtual hardware.

                  I agree with Stephen Walker and Gennady Proskurin,

                  Please don't drop generation of DragonFlyBSD ISO images.

                  I am using DragonFlyBSD as a KVM guest os on Elastic Hosts (EH) 
                  www.elastichosts.com. EH supports custom os install for KVM by means of ISO 
                  image.

                  Hi,

                  Please don’t retire ISO generation.

                  I only (clean) install production distributions from CD (ISO).
