Re: [ALUG] CD-R burns of latest and greatest

* List: alug(a)stu.uea.ac.uk Sorry I probably didn't make myself to clear Alcohol clouding judgement and all that. What I meant was that if anyone has downloaded Caldera or Redhat 6.0 and has them in an format suitable for burning in 98/NT that I could copy them onto my hard drive on Sunday. Then I should be getting a pile of CD-R blanks around Wednesday time and could then provide burns for people as they require them.

No CD-Rom
by James Green 01 May '99

* List: alug(a)stu.uea.ac.uk Hello, Well, I have got a CD ready to burn with over 400Mbs worth of stuff for you all, but the CD-drive is giving "Drive not ready". I rebooted to no avail. So there's a lesson in relying on university machinery for a evening's work. :(( If, by some wierd chance no-one has tried to burn a CD themselves by Tuesday morning and thefore kept the software, I'll try again then. Otherwise we'll have to wait until our next meeting, and I shall quite possibly not be at uni for that so I won't be able to make a CD anyway. So there you have it. Yours depressed, James Green Term e-mail: jmkgre(a)essex.ac.uk | Home e-mail: jg(a)cyberstorm.demon.co.uk Homepage: http://www.cyberstorm.demon.co.uk [ This email came to you via the Anglian Linux User Group list ] [ If you only wish to recieve event announcements, email the ] [ SUBJECT of "unsubscribe" to this list and "subscribe" to ] [ alug-announce(a)stu.uea.ac.uk -- We do need your support, tho' ]

RedHat on the way
by James Green 01 May '99

* List: alug(a)stu.uea.ac.uk Hello guys, OK, I just made enquires with my collegues upstairs (I work for the uni computing service so I had to be careful what I d/l) and it seems that unofficial policy on downloading large files from anywhere is 'bugger the cost'. Therefore, RH6.0 iso is currently standing at some 37Mb so far in just under ten minutes. With a bit of luck I can get this HP DirectCD to create a working CD, and Debian and Caldera offerings will conclude the Great Download of April. I strongly advise however to bring along you own distribution CDs - assume (as this is the first time I've mastered any CD) that my lot will fail. I'm looking to try out latest RH, Debian and Caldera shortly. Right, I'll do my Java assignment while I wait...
