(still installing ...)
>Description:
The CD's (hey its cool that they are still so small!) are given names like:

  i386-1.5.iso

which works well within the NetBSD ftp site (no redundancy) but not so well 
when you download the ISO had leave it on your local disk.

Can I suggest using more meaningful, if longer, names vis:

  NetBSD-1.5-i386.iso

(the upper case N..BSD is of course not really required :-)

>How-To-Repeat:
Download the ISO into a directory full of ISOs from random companies then try 
to re-find it.
>Fix:
