Re: Attachment The Linux/Unix Distro Archive Additions.
Not that I can think of just off the top of my head, but I will most definitely keep your generous offer in mind. There are bound to be new releases which we should put into the archive. Thanks again.

Many, many thanks to the generous person ( Roger? ) for the Knoppix DVD which arrived in my letter box yesterday. Re: the USB-2 card. I'd very much like to get this set up before the February meeting, which is something of an 'Outreach Occasion'. I'd like us to be able to send new members home with an .iso file if they want one, instead of a CD.

Re: Attachment The Linux/Unix Distro Archive Additions.
It has gone through my mind to suggest that we should buy a USB-2.x one. I bought one for myself from DSE a few seeks ago, it cost me $39.98. $25 at tastech.co.nz, $2.50 (I think) shipping or pickup I'll donate one if one isn't found otherwise. For any practical purpose involving storage USB 1 is useless. Volker -- Volker Kuhlmann is list0570 with the domain in header http://volker.dnsalias.net/ Please do not CC list postings to me.

$15 iirc from CDL, but I've gone a perfectly good on here. I'll try and sort it out over the weekend :) Cheers Don Volker Kuhlmann wrote: It has gone through my mind to suggest that we should buy a USB-2.x one.

Re: Attachment The Linux/Unix Distro Archive Additions.
Am happy to get the CentOS ISOs over the next week or so, I should be able to deliver them to the Centre Tuesday next week. Is there the facility to bring down an external hard drive and hook up to a USB port?

Re: Attachment The Linux/Unix Distro Archive Additions.
The USB one would be very useful. Many thanks. I dont think firewire is anything like as common as USB-2.x. So I'm not sure as to the usefullness of firewire.
