Man this talk about iso size is petty, it's the price to pay for progress, deal with it. Should distribute on tapes? 360K floppies? 720K floppies? 1.44mb floppies? 650MB CD's, 700MB CD's? and in 5 years do you think they'll be using CD's at all? Maybe they should compile it for i386 too? - -- Jason Straight ICQ: 1796276 PGP: http://www.jeetkunedomaster.net/~jason/pubkey.asc The only things in life we have any control over are the decisions we make, Unfortunately, we have no control over the consequences of those decisions. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iQCVAwUBPh9blBFHZPcobeHxAQJGygQAkP62KYi4Sk2axcHNjGNQonjVWVqkDz90 81H7cGwVltD0Q3u1kUgwhhOYlzANLjc9o8rCMkdu+quQl6QIb0YoerALg1OlZ1fw h08ihn8zhH2pSFblUD8eG7z8c3xspFb024P4nw2QrXrnF+0fh0c9f+OR7UFSjrUr 7ogrDPU22Lk= =83Wd -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
