Re: Obtaining an Ubuntu/Kubuntu install disc.

["Jerry Feldman-2" <user=4@nabble.blu.org>]

 While I'm not near Billerica, I am adjacent to the MBTA Riverside 
Terminal. I have some Ubuntu Feisty Fawn CDs. I downloaded the image of 
Gutsy Gibbon, but I have not created a CD.  I'll gladly give you a 
Feisty Fawn CD or even a Gutsy CD. I need to create a few Gutsy Cds 
for the installfest.
