Yes, very nice little program!

I haven't looked at it seriously yet.  I've been procrastinating 
and waiting for Redhat to start releasing updates for 7.0.  Right
now I'm only selling stock Redhat CD's, until the updates start.

If it works the way I think it does, I'll tentatively do the following:

1)  As updates are released, I'll note which CD has been updated
    in my weekly "new on bsware this week" email, so people have
    the option of only buying the single CD that's been updated.

2)  I'll probably delete the non-english language documentation,
    ispell dictionaries, etc. from which ever CD on which it resides
    to make room for the BSware extras (as I've done in the past).
    The extras may reside on one or both of the CD's.  I don't know yet.

Whenever I update a Redhat RPM, there is a special program that needs
to be run to rebuild the RPM index used for the install, otherwise
the install fails.  I will need to figure out how the indexes work
now that it is spread across two CD's.  It is possible that this 
may delay BSware, but I am hopeful that I can figure it out, once
I take the time to look into it.
