Yes, well, I guess I have been spoiled by the other distributions, sorry. As a student with no family support $80 is hard to come by, so I was merely asking if it was like many of the other distros which allow this to be done. I did not realize this was such a touchy issue, sorry. You can stop flaming now, thanks. I agree that SuSE does a great job and deserves their money. They are one of the few software companies that I have no quorums about paying for their reasonably priced, and stable product. They are by far my favorite distro, but I am strapped for cash and wanted to test drive the 8.0, so I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask...guess I was wrong, sorry. : -----Original Message----- : From: jeric [mailto:jeric@mmcable.com] : Sent: Tuesday, April 30, 2002 12:23 PM : To: suse-linux-e@suse.com : Subject: [SLE] SuSE FTP and .iso images? : : : Hi, : Is it possible to make an installation CD set by burning : the files from the FTP site to CD?
