It is worth checking whether the distributions are copyrighted and protected.
However, it should be possible to ftp the damn things and write THEM down
as distributions.

I'll make an offer I'll probably regret to the end of my life - bring your
machine to MY HOME (and at reasonable times and ONLY after asking me and
ONLY after me agreeing to the time - my work phone is 02-6584-031) and
I'd be willing to ALLOW (i.e. NOT do it instead of you) people to both
COPY the complete Slak 2.20 (and, soon I hope, BOGUS 1.01) to their
disks and install the bloody thing via ethernet. Yeah - I have spare
network cards, I'm reasonable experienced in making Linuxes network and
I am kamikaze.
