Could some kind soul out there tell me what they would expect from such a distribution. (i.e. number of disks, where I can get the images from, etc.) This User Group charges 4 UKP per disk normally. Add on top of that VAT (so we dont have to muck around with export charges) at 17.5% and postage and packing (i.e. if you are abroad, call for a price first), There is a special offer for 386BSD (since it arrives on 40 3.5" disks!) of 50 pounds + VAT + postage. Postage is free within the Uk.
