I saw hundreds of 4.4BSD-Lite CDROM's at the ORA booth at the Boston Usenix.
I paid for one along with a manual set (special show discount: $152 for all)
and asked for it to be shipped to me.  It hasn't arrived yet and I'm feeling
a bit foolish for not taking the CDROM in person and having the _books_ 
shipped.  Oh well.

Rest assured that as soon as I get my CDROM I will donate it to Gatekeeper,
which has 28 CDROM drives, about half of which are still empty.  Remember that
gatekeeper exports its files via both FTP _and_NFS_ so the pressure will be off
of ORA somewhat once I get my CDROM.  I'll announce it here.

(I don't work for DEC any more but I still know the folks who run Gatekeeper.)
