1 Honestly Michael I'm not bickering my request is valid, the installer cd
2 cannot be reproduced this makes it a proprietary product, its closed. You
3 might not have the need to modify the cd in anyway or reproduce it in
4 another fasion, but I do and I dont mean just any livecd. My requirement was
5 for it to be as close to the installer cd as possible. So you were right the
6 first time, why cant the spec files along with the patch of Catalyst be
7 released or atleast be put into cvs access for non-end user access?
