Yes but at least keeping a 'standard' set of iso images means that you have a reference point. I can see problems when things have changed on the machine that you are trying to 'rebuild' your reference iso's on ... You knwo the MD5sums but just cant get it to build quite the same again ;) Mind you, this may only be relevant to cd vendors :) Regards Lance BTW when can we have a dvd image ?? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
