- You don't have to buy a new set of disks. I had the same problem
- with my copy of MacMinix, and all I had to do was mail the bad disk in, along
- with a note. I made sure I was registered by e-mailing books@prenhall.com.
- They sent me a replacement disk in about 2-3 weeks. No fuss, muss, or bother,
- only the cost of postage. I sent a self-addressed floppy mailer with the
- old disk, so the replacement would be sure to go to the right place.
