It's fine with us. In fact, you can duplicate the Official Debian 1.3.1
2-CD Set if you want - we put the ISO 9660 master CD images online at the
sites listed at the end of this message, just make a label and press 'em.
We don't ask for any money for this.
If you prefer to make your own CD, install the boot-floppies package
and the debian-cd package. Then talk to me, I'm one of the experts on
making Debian CDs and I want to make sure your CD doesn't have any
common mistakes that would make us look bad. Make sure your CD is
bootable, make sure it installs "pppd" and "man", make sure people can
get to our FTP sites and get the rest of the system.
Thanks
Bruce
