I'd love to help, but a dial-up connection prohibits me from being able to test anything new. If you (or someone) were willing to send a installation DVD of the latest openSUSE, or there was some other easy (and cheap!) way I could get one, I'd be more than willing to test things out and give feedback and such.
No problem, just link to the .iso that you want me to burn and send me your address. I'll have it out tomorrow.
Dotan, you are a bit far away. Postage can make you give up on similar help in the future :-)
This is a really cool thing to do, Dotan.
Since openSUSE doesn't have millionaire cosmonauts behind it, maybe we could set up a 'Users ship openSUSE to users' network where those of us to whom burning a DVD and slapping it in the mail is no big deal can make a difference to those who live out of reach of DSL and magazine coverdisks?
We'd just need a simple broker program that matches up requesters to nearby senders...

Hi Will, Someone tried to organize such thing using openSUSE wiki, but he didn't found much understanding. I just removed deletion marker. http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Free_Media_Persons and my comment, after I removed deletion marker: http://en.opensuse.org/Talk:OpenSUSE_Free_Media_Persons But to prevent complains for different reasons, this discussion can be moved at least to new thread. IMHO, the topic is perfectly valid for general technical help. It answers the question: "How to install openSUSE if I have no fast Internet?" -- Regards, Rajko http://news.opensuse.org/category/people-of-opensuse/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
