Granted, I don't know what CD-R blank media costs wherever this guy
is. However, the last time I bought CD-R, I bought a box of 200 for
$45 plus sales tax, then spent another ~$0.50 on postage, envelope,
and gasoline to drop a rebate request in the mail which returned me
the $45. So, doing the math, a set of 5 CD-R blank media (enough to
hold 2 Install, 2 Source, and 1 Doc) costs me $0.10.

Remember, this guy did not buy a copy of RH. He borrowed it. That's
why he doesn't have the CDs any more. So, it isn't a matter of how
expensive the RH distribution is. It's a matter of whether he can
afford 2-5 blank CD-R discs. If he can't afford them, I still say it
isn't likely that he has an extra machine lying around doing nothing
that could be used for this purpose.
