[ubuntu-in] Free CDs

[Kishan Bhat]

An alternative to CD is to use USB disk boot. Everyone uses a usb flash disk
nowadays and most computers can do usb boot.

Unetbook allows you to put in an iso into usb disk without loosing current
data in the disk. Also it is easier and faster than burning a CD/DVD.

I can't remember when I last used boot CD for any task.

We ordered some 35 CDs but were not asked. Probably the shipping company
handled those convincing work.
BTW the cost of CDs might be zero, any shipment needs to have it's cost
declared. If you read the back of any shipit CD package, the value is
declared. If the total increases, then it might become a problem.

Another solution, two people order and get it delivered at different
addresses
