Re: contacting Vinux Project

[Glenn <glennervin@cableone.net>]

Tyler,
The biggest waste was my time.
Here I thought that I had to be doing something wrong, trying all day to 
burn a CD in both windows and Linux, with no success until I accidentally 
put in a blank DVD, and that burned.
That was last night.
They need to download an image and test it when they put it up on the site.

Glenn:
They probably just put a bit to much on the disk. Last time they made a
distro they were cramming everything in, then had to go back out and
yank a bunch of stuff. End result there was a ton of crap and they
yanked some of the good utilities. If you can just use a DVD, I
recommend that.
