[klug] An idea for Thursday

[peterd]

I have a portable burner (Acer mini).  It'll only burn at 6x but 
hopefully that should be fast enough for our purpose. Do you have an A 
drive? - the driver is on a floppy.

Live Distro - I'm interested in having a look at Kubuntu. I have the 
latest (?) Knoppix (v3.9) - I'll bring that along.
