Hello again,

Ok, so, this dd command, as quoted below will work perfectly? This has
been tried? Are we sure that there is no need for, say, setting the
blocksize (bs=..) parameter or anything? As I said, I do not have a burner
to try this out with.

I doubt anyone would know, but I am using BeOS to dd the disc to file -
that should not be any problem I hope - unless default settings for dd
under Be are different than Linux or NS.

I also saw that someone wrote in after this message with an affirmative
that using dd (gosh, what a useful program) will make the diskettes fine
as well.

Next question - I live in North America - internet access is cheap and
fast... what about our friends in France and Italy? Will they be able to
download this file successfully - and even if they do manage a successful
download, will it cost soo much that it is infeasible?

It seems like it would make more sense, speed wise, for the images to be
on an FTP server on their side of the pond... is this rational?

Lastly, as I stated when I first posted about doing this, lets move the
legality and copyright discussion to a different thread... maybe one named
"flame me cuz' my views on copyright are different than yours" or
something like that... :) Then everyone can argue about copyright and
piracy like they always do and it will go nowhere, but it won't confuse
this thread...

later..
Nick
