Anyone know if these are easily available with the write protect 
option?  I looked at the specs from the link above and they only mention 
that a write protect jumper is an option.  It may not seem like a huge 
deal to many, however I see a huge value in being able to write protect 
my setup easily.

That being said I haven't run any LEAF variant for maybe a couple of 
years mostly due to wanting to use a 2.6.xx kernel.  I'd move back in a 
heartbeat if something was available with a 2.6 kernel.  I've run LEAF, 
and it's roots for eon's and have always liked the fact that I could 
write protect my media.  Somewhere down the line, Dachstein maybe, when 
decent CDROM support was added I used to create a bootable CD with my 
setup saved to that.  That did get to be a bit to much work for me so I 
went back to floppy.  Just had to keep that huge stack around to find 
ones decent enough to format to 1.72.

I've rambled enough for now....

Mike
