I could burn you a set of CD's for the meeting.  I might get to the
meeting a little later than usual (the meeting is on Final's week, but
they shouldn't interfere with each other), but I'll be sure to be there.

To cover the cost of the media, I'd ask for either a set of blank CD-R's
or a suggested donation of $0.25 per disk for CD-R media or $0.50 per
disk for CD-RW media (which can be re-burned with updates at
InstallFests or similar events).  Since Debian/testing is now up to 14
CD's, that would come out to either $3.50 or $7.00, depending on the
media.


Unless, of course, you find an easier way to make the device work...
