Hi Alex, The only problem I have with a DVD is the amount of GB to download at once. Some countries only have dial-up modems and others have caps on their internet usage. I live in South Africa and most home users have 3GB caps per month. One DVD contains 4.7GB, which is more than the 3GB cap. I would prefer separate CDs, each with its own OS and Extras. I also agree that the Linux ISO can be removed, as it is shipped with most Linux Distros. I use Kubuntu Linux myself and I find it easier to use the Adept Manager to Update my Linux when newer versions are available, because it also takes care of dependencies automatically. Just another thing: In my previous ISO download (2.3.0), the autorun (Windows OS) file pointed to the wrong setup file (previous version). I corrected it myself by extracting the ISO file, edited the autorun file, saved it, and re-created the ISO image. Regards Marius Groenewald

There was some discussion on this list, I even created a DVD (which was designed in such a way that it could easily be broken down into separate CDs if required). At the time, the consensus was that we should stick with CD images. That said, if the CD distributors would prefer a DVD image, I'm more than happy to build one. The only thing is the time it will take to upload it, probably 24 hours or so. So there is another option - a single (large) DVD image, or several (probably 4) separate CD images. Which is the preferred option? Over to you guys. > -- Alex Fisher Co-Lead, CD-ROM Project OpenOffice.org Marketing Community Contact Australia/New Zealand http://distribution.openoffice.org/cdrom/
