	Yes, I am agree. We have to hack more, and more.

	The responsible for the French NetBSD mirror is Jean Mehat
(jm@mimi.up8.edu).
	Paul is membre of "equipe-root", like nait@bocal.cs.univ-paris8.fr,
or like me.
	"equipe-root" is here just to maintain server. French NetBSD mirror
is a student
	project.

	I am not very interested in selling NetBSD. Linux is a good product
for that.

	>Of course, we can't afford to advance the money to make the CDs
	>and we have no commercial channel to sell them here (though we

	You are a really good commercial !

	>What are your thoughts?

	What do you think ?

	If you want to make a CD-ROM of NetBSD, you have to read at first
README and LICENCE.
	Than you can make a mirror of ftp.NetBSD.org or ftp.fr.NetBSD.org or
ftp.au.NetBSD.org or ...

	Today everyone know Linux, but Linux project is dead, Linux has
become a commercial product !
