We are not in a position to prepare the MASTER DVD, however.  We will be 
glad to REPLICATE and MAIL it to all interested users.

As mentioned above, the DVD should have images for Windows, Mac and of 
course, linux.  Some may also want this to be bootable.  Indian language 
support should be provided, along with tutorials on how to do this.  All 
the tutorials of Tug India can be included.  From our side, we will 
include the spoken tutorials as well.  At present we have 11 tutorials 
in English.  Soon, we would have dubbed them into Hindi and Marathi.  
Dubbing into Kannada is about to start.  Hopefully, we can make this 
available in many other Indian languages as well.

There have been suggestions also for several other things.  It is not 
clear whether all of them will fit into one disk.  I hope that we can 
start this work instead of spending all the time discussing what should 
go into the DVD.

Regards.
