I do understand your point, however I would like to insist on the fact that
the exact sources of the knoppix distributions should be available.
I could obviously hunt around the internet to get the exact sources matching
the exact versions included in the distribution, but as you can imagine this
could take a awfully long (and wasted) time. In fact, the current versions
are often newer than the ones included in the distribution (for example
gimp_1.2.5-3 has been replaced by gimp_1.2.5-4).
I am therefore planning to send you CDs by snail mail (including a prepaid
letter for the shipment back).
As a consequence, I would be most grateful if you could tell me how many CDs
are required to burn the KNOPPIX_v3.3-2003.11.19-EN
Regards,
Vincent
