[csw-users] catalog

[George Wyche]

Thanks,

I downloaded the descriptions from the mirror I am using. I am guessing 
that it doesn't hurt to have more descriptions than packages.

I'll find out soon enough, I guess.

Here's hoping /this/ CD has all that I need.

Reckon Dennis would appreciate an article on how making a "distribution 
CD" of a subset all blastwave packages can be done from home? It seems 
like the DVD distribution service is more of a headache for blastwave 
than an advantage.

However, its probably the chicken and the egg thing for people like me. 
"If I can get the packages via the internet, why bother with a CD (DVD) 
of what I already have? *And* it'll be out of date pronto." Probably my 
situation is unusual. OK. The take home is to cough up the $20+ and get 
a DVD from the blastwave service. I am not doing that, because of 
historical snafu with same.
