Too many to recommend that anyone here downloads all the CD images. The DVD is available as a cover disc - there can't be many situations now where a complete install can only be done via CD with no network or DVD access. Even if there is no internet access on-site, it's not that hard to copy sufficient data to an external hard drive (using free DVD's) - at least until you start considering locations outside Europe / North America. The multiarch net installer is small enough to carry around "just in case". -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
