Hi Frank
I think that its a great idea. I just helped a list member install
necessary packages by sending him a flash card with a backup that had
all the necessary packages, I used this approach because I couldn't get
all the NIE packages to beam (a backdoor method of getting two copies
of a package on one newt). Adding DataRescue would make this a pretty
powerful tool. I especially like the part you doing the organizing.
International mail seems pretty fast. Of the things that I have
shipped it has taken a week or less.
Any more ideas?
Woody
