Thank you for the links however, this isn't what I asked. Allow me to re
articulate:
1. I would like a link to either where there may be a full blown DVD image
of 6.0 or a torrent.
2. If not the above, the layout used to create the DVD image.
Now allow me to explain 1 and 2 so there isn't anymore wild answers to
questions users seem to think they read.
Reason 1:
If installing more then just the base OS (allow me to say that one key
word, INSTALL) then swapping out the CD's is not something I'm willing to
spend 3 hours doing (perhaps that was an embellishment after the fact).
Reason 2:
If there isn't a DVD image to download (either in whole or torrent) then
the layout would allow me to create my own INSTALL DVD with my curent 6.0
roms.
There - now that I have taken the time to eplain this, I hope there isn't
anymore confusion as to what I'm asking.
Best regards,
Chris
