This idea comes up again and again - the stumbling block is always getting hold of "official-looking" media, whether that is CDROM or USB. Overall, USB looks easier because there are companies that can mass produce USB sticks with whatever sign printing you need. Then it's just a matter of (scripting) the mass write of images to USB. (The opposite problem to pre-printed CDROMs which tend to have ink printing secondary to the data mastering.) There are real financial costs to this process. This is the point where free software really does start costing like real beer. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
