In order to sell a really cheap Debian CD-ROM set, I need to sell a lot of them fast or Debian needs to stop improving so fast. This is because I need to run at least 1000 sets, it will be a week or more before I get them from the CD presser, and after a few weeks more the remaining copies are good for coasters or frisbees.
For now I prefer to put it on CD-R's and keep it up to date. I tried Slackware. I tried Red Hat. I tried Debian and stayed with it. I made a new 1.3 CD today and tested it on a few machines. One of them supported bootable CD's and the install worked flawlessly. As far as cheap CD's go, I have a collection of them and they do leave things off. Some of the vendors have no real interest in Linux, so what do you expect? On Mon, 9 Jun 1997, Daniel J. Mashao wrote: > On Fri, 6 Jun 1997, E.L.
