Has anyone thought about shipping 4.4 et seq on DVD media? 4.3GB fits on a single DVD with room to spare. Add a bootable CD for the installation and the second for the live filesystem/fixit CD, and you have a complete 3-disc set. (Speaking of DVDs, I haven't heard anything in a long, long time about the progress of a R/W UDF filesystem, which would make life with both CD/RW and DVD-RAM devices pretty darned sweet.) -- Chris BeHanna Software Engineer (Remove "bogus" before responding.) behanna@bogus.zbzoom.net I was raised by a pack of wild corn dogs.
