  19. Do you really want this?  With all the custom installations and beta
  20. patches floating around, the code to identify which diff to use
  21. followed by all the redundant diffs would probably make the pack
  22. larger.  Besides, it isn't 18-21 disks, it's 14 or 16, depending on
  23. size.  And two of them are new video drivers which couldn't be shipped
  24. as diffs anyway.

  28. What do you mean?  You mean I'm running a fake?  I'll sue!  :-)

  30. >Can I get it on CD-ROM?
  31.  
  32. Soon.  Probably after they get the bugs worked out.
