Thankyou so much Nick and J.C for your comments. J.C has understood it better . I am not really looking for producing OpenBSD CDs at low cost because there are already CD vendors in India who do that (not sure if it is with Theo's permission)! I happened to download 3.7(i386) and create an ISO CD with just squid,nmap and nessus packages and also djbdns, daemontools. It was used to install 2 firewals and 2 desktops. Seeing that people around here could not do the same thing I made this offer in May http://www.bsd-india.org/pipermail/bsd-india/2005-May/003647.html It was basically for students who couldn't afford it any otherway. Thats why I offerred to mail the CDs for free. And as I suspected there was no request for uploading it to any site just because downloading it woud be hard here. Now when 3.8 was Released I got this request form a student. http://www.bsd-india.org/pipermail/bsd-india/2005-November/003817.html you can follow the thread to see the discussion. One of my good friends Shanker wasa little apprehensiveabout what I was about to do and so I thought I would clarify before dong it rather than making Theo and others angry and aplogizing later. Thankyou everyone And Thankyou software.au for your heart to help :-) You didnot offendme or makeme angry! Take care Siju -- Siju Oommen George, Network Consultant. HiFX IT & MEDIA SERVICES PVT.
