I'll split a pack with you if you wish.  Fry's had some good deals a
month or three back on them, I still have six left from the first pack,
and twenty five in the second pack.  IIRC, the packs were around $10 or
so.  Way more expensive than a regular CD-R, but still within reason,
IMHO.

Anyway, if you go buy a pack before the next PLUG meeting, I'll buy
however many you don't want at a proper ratio, assuming the price is
within reason (I wouldn't want to spend more than $.50 a CD, I think).

I don't use a GUI for rescue type things anyway... might as well not use
a CD that wastes a ton of space for GUI stuff.  :-)

Although, I did just boot up with Knoppix to verify a video issue I'm
having (another post to follow, I think)... it was pretty and fairly
full-featured, although I really wish they would have thought to include
mplayer in there instead of xine.
