Whoa!!!!! are you saying that you actually expect people to KEEP the
install media around or to KEEP a local repository ondisk.
If Windows users can do it, why not the Elite Linux Userbase. :-)
they arent going to do it without some arm twisting. People are as
likely to 'borrow' someone's set of install media as they are to get
their friend to burn them a copy.
Then they would pay by having to wait for the original to download.
