I don't think there is much incentive to buy yet another USB thumb drive. What about a pre-loading station where people can choose what install media they want and then have them copied to their drives automagically? I don't if Debian has something similar to grml's grml2usb with support for parallel images or this could be adapted for debian's needs, though. I do agree that CDs and DVDs are becoming less and less needed over time as most people who will be at Fosdem will have access to a fast internet connection in some way. That being said, keeping a few CDs around can't hurt. Richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
