Re: CD Image creation
Hello Theo,
I totally hear you! I am coming from a similar place.
Boredom is not the best motivation though becuase we will
want you to stay around ;-)
'debian-user' correct me if I am wrong.
There is actually three CDs. Only CD 1 is
required, actually you can get the system installed
with just 3 floppies. The thing is there are a lot of
choices of pkgs -- all "free". RH and others bundle
non-"free". My suggest, if adventurous ;-) is make
the floppies (or the ISO), getting the Debian
installed and then 'apt-get' the packages off of the
net. That way you will get the newest and greatest
-- ie. the "securist".
One interesting thing to note is r4 was released today.
Best regards,
Lloyd
