I'm comparing and contrasting suggestions ATM - but I have a 7 CD set of Woody, so I'm inclined to struggle with that to start with.
I'm sure if you turned up to the meet this Thursday someone would bring along a sarge install CD for you. Definitely much more recommended than fighting with woody.
Would have to be next month - not even enough to buy a half-pint in the kitty ATM, so this week's out unless in the meantime I can find a gold mine or something in the back garden.
