Simon's post: >> It's going to cost money or time, or both one way or another. Why should anyone else pay these bills for you? >>
I'm not saying that we don't want to pay for any software - we do. But the download option will be more cost-effective for us. And Tim's: >> I think in your situation then the solution would be: $149 - cost of CD $25 - cost of ftp'ing software (RPM and skel) contained on CD to remote server $5 - installation performed on server remotely via SSH >> True - never thought about this option ... >> Alternatively you may produce an RPM yourself from the available source, generate a suitable skel yourself and save that initial cost of the CD. The intention of the bootable installation CD is to provide a very simple non-technical installation. That was the brief. You are after a different distribution medium - you just want the RPMs available for download. This is entirely possible, but levying a useful charge for it is problematic. Hence the CD. I too regard the current situation as unsatisfactory and hope to be able to make future RPMS available in the normal manner. >> Not really - we are actually after the source, which will allow us to install on SuSE as well. And you've posted the CVS download instructions, so we're ok for now. thanks, Johan ------------------------- The freeVSD Support List -------------------------- Subscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=subscribe%20freevsd-support Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=unsubscribe%20freevsd-support Archives: http://freevsd.org/support/mail-archives/freevsd-support -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
