G'day Alex,
Wow! 1.5Gb! How about we have two isos -one with Win, Lin and Mac, and
the other including Solaris. I have yet to receive a request for a
Solaris edition. I suspect that those with Solaris machines also have
very fast broadband capability, and they download what they need. The
CD Distributors seem to be filling the need for those who are Bandwidth
challenged, and because of that, I try to be extra considerate, and
include Mozilla, Firefox, Thunderbird,The Gimp, Inkscape, Scribus and
Foxit on my install disk, and I remove Solaris. The extras disk goes
out as downloaded. It seems that those who are bandwidth challenged
are often behind the pace in computer power as well. I can canvas my
customers to see if they would prefer CD or DVD Media. I can burn
either. But all are grateful for the extra software, dial-up is such a
bummer!

Hi John,

The bittorrent download buttons will provide you with a 2.0.2 version
for Win,Lin.Mac,Solaris and a 2.0.1 version of the Extras -
dictionaries which you can then burn to CD to provide a full
installation disk.
Hold on though! There will be a new ISO for 2.0.3 available shortly,
and the
links to the torrents will be updated once it's on the mirrors.
Note that the new image is for a DVD, and is 1.5 GB in size. There are
2
primary directories named Install and Extras. These correspond to the
Install
and Extras CD (although the Install directory will need pruning in
order to
fit it on a CD - just open it in suitable software (I think Nero will
work)
and delete one of the installation sets (most likely Solaris), then
edit the
autorun.inf path.
But by following the Green arrow on the homepage you may just download
the appropriate installation file for your OS.

Can someone please send me the link to where I can find the file I
need to burn
to CD-Rs to enable installation directly from the CD?
Thanks in advance!
