Mac -

   According to the OpenBSD website they don't offer ISO images of the OS
- their thought is that if you need ISOs, you can buy the CDs. ;)

   Word of warning - the OBSD "hard core" have developed new vocabularies
entirely for people who ask for the ISOs.

   However, you can download a boot disk image and install over the net -
it's quick (if you're on a broadband connection) and fairly painless.
