- hi,
-
- I'm interested in getting linux, but is there another way to
- distribute large software packages than CD?
-
- Since I (and many other home users) don't have a CD player or a tape
- backup machine, why not distribute the stuff on a format that I can
- use more than once.
-
- Can you provide the distribution on some standard tape format?
- And what about other formats that might be useful for distribution
- AND backup such as that new sony mini cd that's read/writable?
-
- thanks,
-
- Ira
