plug RedHat 5.1 CD burn - No more orders please... (just for a moment

[Campbell, Ian]

Linux System Labs Australia are going to produce Redhat 5.1 CDs.  See their
web site at www.lsl.com.au.  Their prices for other distributions are quite
reasonable so perhaps anyone else wanting a CD could try them.

Could you contact me in a couple of weeks. Currently I have a backlog of 
something like 20+ orders already. Basically I am doing this at zero cost 
for PLUG (Perth Linux Users Group).

Hopefully when the first round of CD-ROMs get loose then people will start 
copying and reduce the load on me (there is a known fault in the 
"autoboot" method of install, the boot floppy still works).

Each CD-ROM is approx 360MB of info and takes 25 minutes to burn,
multiply that by 20 and see how much time I have "wasted".

I don't mind doing up to 3-5 a week but 20 is getting a little much. Next 
time I will look for a CD duplication service. Perhaps I underpriced 
myself ($5 a disc) or underestimated the demand.

PS: I must really get back to hacking at the ZIP disk driver (ppa).
