Is there some special magic you know about that I don't?
1) Please do not toppost. Please read http://en.opensuse.org/Opensuse_mailing_list_netiquette 2) It would indeed be a need trick to put 5 ISOs (or 6 soon) on one DVD. I use makeSUSEdvd for that. I put the (softlinks to) the 6 CD's in one directory and run it with: makeSUSEdvd -o ../dvd -a /usr/src/packages/RPMS/ That adds several RPMs I have on the DVD as well that are not available anywhere else and can be installed during the installation.
Who gives a flip what currency it is in?
The people taking the money. When you are talking about USD, you mostly also talk about the US only. Many people live in places that do not have the USD as a currency. Furthermore many of these places have TVA wich will make the price you claim is possible not achievable.
so it is *49.2650078 Euro
That gives me a price of almost 60USD, not 39USD you claimed. A difference of 50%. Also I would have I looked and was unable to see how I could order it and what the price would be for me. Prices for Belgium are around 50EUR http://www.mpl.be/products.aspx?id=30&sid=195 YMMV
Eitherway... put the dvd iso's up there and they will come.
Uhm. Nobody said they would not be put online, because they are. The ISOs they put online are single layer ones. They contain the same as the 5 CDs. However they are not available for Beta. I could even imagine that for future beta's (10.2) only the 3 CD's will be online and the rest via FTP. Or at least for the Alpha's and the first few Beta's. Only the last 2 Beta's and the RC could have 5(6) CD's online for testing purposes. houghi -- Nutze die Zeit. Sie ist das Kostbarste, was wir haben, denn es ist unwiederbringliche Lebenszeit.
