Ahhh... Now you see the advantage of purchasing the commerical version
on CDROM.
1) A permanent copy of the distro plus ALL the major downloads available
at the time, all on 5 CDs.
2) A ready-made boot disk.
3) A live-system on the CD.
4) A beautiful manual.
5) If your time is worth anything, and you don't have a T1 connection
to the internet, it is easier and quicker to get the commerical release.
6) It costs less than a movie and dinner out for two... ;-)
7) The CD boots into YaST and the install-upgrade is just clicks away.
8) Where else could you get such a finely engineered system at such a
low price?
However, Geeks with plenty of experience, time to burn and a T1 would
think nothing of downloading all the packages and putting together an
installable system.
