| 308153 | 2004-12-28 04:43:00 | Hi, there is a Linux mag currently in the shops which I can't remember the name of (Linux Magazine?) which has Yoper 2.1 on the acompanying dvd. Anyone purchased it; I am curious to know how many Yoper cd images come on the dvd. | dolby digital (5073) | ||
| 308154 | 2004-12-28 05:06:00 | Yoper is only a one CD installation distro of ~693 MB so the DVD should only have a single image on it, but I imagine the DVD will also have the rest of the magazine's programs etc on it. Haven't seen the magazine yet, but I think the only Linux one I see around is the "Linux Journal"? |

| 308155 | 2004-12-28 09:11:00 | Thanks Jen, the dvd also has Knoppix 3.6 on it and some video but thats probably about 2GB. They've probably filled it with something. Aren't real distro's at least 3 cd's worth :eek: |

| 308157 | 2004-12-28 21:02:00 | Aren't real distro's at least 3 cd's worth :eek: It depends on what apps are bundled with them. Fedora is pretty generous in that respect, which is why it runs to four CDs. :) |
