RedHat 7.2 was available on cover CD's on magazines, have they changed the rules for 8 and 9? LinuxEmporium also send out massive numbers of CD copies. The only 'common' distro that I've come across that doesn't like being given away on freebie CD's is SuSE - they gave away a live demo version but I've yet to see a full SuSE distro on a magazine cover disc. I've taken that line out of the file for now, but I'm still bemused about how public ISO images can be 'restricted'. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.codehelp.co.uk http://www.dclug.org.uk http://www.wewantbroadband.co.uk/
