But you would be suprised to know that an ISO image of alpha + i386 archs of
OpenBSD 2.6 cd is available at ssh.org  It is not the image of the official
cd although as it does not contain the binaries for all the other archs

Well the good news is that I have almost finished downloading (Sat thru the
entire night) Now I will have to start experimenting with making a bootable
cd out of the install floppies and the downloaded files. I intend doing all
the experiments with a CDRW.  Will keep you posted on the developments. From
what i understand, I will have to make the cd bootable and then coax the
install scripts to starting running after booting.

Any pointers/tips most welcome.
