If you want to try a Debian Sarge using anaconda, I can quickly throw a CD together for you..
Please. I take it that most of what's on the rest of the CDs in the set (IIRC I have seven) will not be too out of date?
A quick recap on the package list:
I forgot to asp - Anaconda?
KDE-3.3.2 - Includes kmail, ksirc, kspread, kcalc, and a few other general common KDE packages.
Cups - The standard print manager on most distros now.
Samba - Just in case you need to share resources with the dark side.
Is that similar to Wine, or something different? I do want to try to run my ISP's mail/news handling software on a Linux box. (I'm a beta tester, so I'm going to keep using it, possibly alongside Thunderbird.
xfce4 & evilwm - Not everyone wants a heavyweight window manager..
gcc & friends so that you can compile "stuff".
With some 613 packages out of a possible 14,000 or so, there is still plenty of space on the CD if you want anything else - Currently, a 576Meg ISO..
I have got ATmission 1.1-03 and MEMPIS 3.3 test 01 on a cover DVD - comments?
