By the way, I'm curious: if you're installing Linux on someones computer, and if you install all the packages (or most of them), why do you need to give them the actual CDs? Unlike Windows, reinstallation of Linux is not a typical experience. If a single package is missing, getting it from the IGLU mirror (for example) is usually just as easy as taking it from the CD. Sure, giving people the CDs is a great thing (maybe they can spread the Linux "virus" around!), but if it turned out too hard, don't feel too bad if you didn't manage to give CDs to everyone - they will get along without them. In a few months, the version they got will be obsolete anyway. -- Nadav Har'El | Thursday, Nov 7 2002, 3 Kislev 5763 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |I am logged in, therefore I am. http://nadav.harel.org.il | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Haifa Linux Club Mailing List (http://www.haifux.org) To unsub send an empty message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
