I am familiar with CVSup. I just couldn't understand why wou ld anyone be interested in previous versions. :-) I think it would not hurt either to have a little note somewhere indicating what those two CDs are for. Even the "Live" CD should have a little blurb. I remembe r I had to ask in this same list about what the second CD was when I first got t hem. To a new user "Live system" doesn't say much, even less CVSup.
