Lincoln Park. Webster and Halsted area.  I can travel to the Ray for lunch if any Depaul folks can help out.

If you are anywhere near south suburbs, you can pick one up from me 
(homewood illinois)

otherwise, I am sure there are a bunch of guys on luni that are in the 
loop area that have cds.

Otherwise, get them to mail you a cd.


I think there is a way to download the iso file and then mount it on a 
network share to install locally, but I am not sure of the steps you 
need to take.

You can call me on 312 388 0779 if you want to pick up a copy

>> I have been battling with yum to install videolanclient (vlc) for days now and am about ready to give up and do a fresh install of another distro ( now running  Centos OS 4.3. )  I have fished around and have tried about every recommended remedy for this problem to no avail.  If anyone has any suggestions how I can fix this problem I would appreciate hearing it.  Otherwise if anyone knows of a distro that can handle a yum vlc install I would also appreciate this info.  Thanks
