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:

It depends on what apps are bundled with them. Fedora is pretty generous in that respect, which is why it runs to four CDs. :)

I've got somewhere the set of 4 floppies which an ISP in Portugal provided to get its customers on-line. :D It uses a 20MB file on a FAT disk as its disk. :D

DSL is 50MB
Tomsrbt is tiny too.....
