Attached find a patch for f.o/where.html (the download page). It adds
direct links to the various .iso and removes the 'distributions' link
where is not of much use to most users who wouldn't know how to find it
on the FTP site them selves.
This makes the usb memory stick images much easier to find for the
average user. It also adds links to the handbook instructions for
writing a USB stick or CD/DVD image.
