Wayne,
Your approach to solving your problem is wrong.

Moaning at the South African Community will only aggrovate people.

There is no signuficant differance between an OEM and a CD you write from
the iso.

If you have problems with CD's your write, try writing them at the slowest
speed.

Also if you can't dl the iso, asking nicely will defineteley get you a CD.

I would even be willing to post you one if your in the platteland.

Regards,
Christoff
