Hmm. I doubt they're the full cd's. Lemme pop my RedHat 5.1 and SuSe
5.0 CD's in my tray and check...
Lesse: RH 5.1 (btw, 5.2 is out now.): 577 Megs.
Suse 5.2:: 624 megs
Slackware 3.5: 645 megs...
Anyway, I doubt you'll see two full distro's on one cd :)
I recently ordered my CDs from www.linuxmall.com.
6 cd's, slackware 3.5, redhat 5.1, suse 5.1, Debian 2.0, Caldera
Openlinux 1.2, and Linux Pro 5.4, for $10, +$10 shipping(to the
netherlands, I imagine the same to UK.) So for the price of one audio
cd, you get 6 major distributions. Pretty good deal :)

How much is actually all Suse and the rest DOS/Win format support files I don't know. 'Tis 5.2, kernel 2.0.34. Does this seem (...) (26 years ago, 9-Dec-98, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
