I have Mandrake 8.0 (2 CD's) and I'll have 8.1 (3 CD's) in a couple of days. Send blanks to Box 81, Eglinton Street, Cork with a return address and I'll turn 'em around in a day.

EDIT: This applies to anyone who wants distro's btw. Lemme see, I have Red Hat 6.2, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, Mandrake 7.0, 7.2, 8.0 (& 8.1 shortly), OpenBSD 2.8, TurboLinux Server 6.0 Lite. And Corel 1.0, if you're a loony. I have a few other bits and pieces too, like Star Office 5.2, and some games that came bundled with boxed Red Hat distros.

That's never very up to date - if you want something, someone will have it, just post on ILUG or your local LUG list and ask. Logic, you may want to add this kind of stuff to a wee Sticky?

I'd like a copy of the BSD too, might send you a few CD's with a SAE

dahamsta

That's no problem, but like I said, I only have 2.8. I think Typedef has 3.0?

I have 'unofficial' iso's, which means if you
ftp ftp.openbsd.org and list the packages/i386 dir
I have that and the basic setup disk, not the official disk, but it 'shouldn't' be too difficult to set up from this base.

You could try to do it the way I did.
-Install base system - configure X
-Open a twm session
-when you mount the 2 packages cd's you will be able to use a console to scroll through what you are installing hence making use of pkg_add much easier.

You could try to add all of the packages at the setup stage but, the console does nicht scroll ergo it's very difficult to see what you have and have not selected, hence why doing the rest of the 'packages' install is easier from 2 or 3 consoles in X.

Or something.

Che Lives!

If you are thinking of getting OpenBSD you might want to check out the download site of the Custom OpenBSD 3.0 with IPFilter http://openbsd30.ipfilter.org/ it will save you having to install IPF yourself.
