As I have already replied to the queries on testing: "Yes!"

Until very recently (like yesterday) I was not equipped to burn CDs due to
the failure of my toaster. Thanks to Henry Hollenberg, who made the
wonderful contribution of a Yamaha machine, I am again equipped to do this
job.

The "Pre-release" CDs I intend to create are going to be Binary Only
(i386) and may not have any frills on them other than the components of
the archive, a freshly constructed Packages file and the most recent disk
set. If I can find the time, I may make them bootable, but don't hold your
breath ;-)

I have already offered this to the two testers who asked. I can probably
give away an additional 3 (total of five) before I need to start getting
something back to cover my costs.

I usually charge $30.00 for a custom CD, but I can probably survive on
$20.00. Let me know what you think is fair.

Waiting is,

Dwarf
