Hi Guys Sudhir you mentioned you need help in designing the CD. You do you have in mind? 30Mb seems to be such a waste of the CD. Can we come up with some more info that might be useful for beginners and advanced users alike. Some suggestions
1. Additional mailing archives from other sources, besides ilugd. 2. Latest updates, security patches 3. General software of interest. I have a good collection with me almost 2Gb :). Of course some of it will be outdated or newer versions are available. 4. A categorized list of software for various purposes, with links of where to get them. 5. Experiences with Linux in general of other members of the group. Things like a peculiar situation a person might have faced and how it was solved. e.g. the FTP problem Yashpal had posted earlier, I knew about this because I had faced the same during my initial installs of Linux. This could also be evolved as HOWTO's with step by step instructions to do things. I would like to hear from other members of this group about this.
