I was not aware there was a CD with it, I do recall seeing the pdf and liking it. It may just be that none of us ever looked that closely because those of us in the position to be interested in making a CD are not anywhere near the target audience of a "learning Fink" book. ;) I'm certain that I could probably make a usable CD by hand right now -- it would mostly consist of a few fink.conf changes and and apt/sources.list change. My main goal is to have tools to be able to take a binary distribution and build a CD from it automagically, reproducibly, and without a lot of manual work (which is what I would assume would have been done for funwithfink). ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility Learn to use your power at OSDN's High Performance Computing Channel http://hpc.devchannel.org/ _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
