I sure am glad you always think you know what you are talking about. Have you read the LGPL? A single download fully ready to install only takes up about 120 MB of disk space. That will easily fit on a CD. The rest of that stuff you mentioned is easy enough to download. It is not necessary to burn a copy for all operating systems or the addons or the source code. -- http://24.197.142.167/ See the OpenOffice.org FAQ Microsoft users go to http://www.pclinuxos.com for a great user friendly Linux experience! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
