Description Eric Christenson (guest) 2004-01-04 08:08:21 UTC

The URL must have pointed to an old release.  The (currently) correct URL is cart.cheapbytes.com/cgi-bin/cart/0070010933.html
but I'm not sure if it isn't better to query, for example for "gentoo CD" which is what I used to produce this result.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. (Follow the link in the FAQ!)
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
cheapbytes website complained about not being able to locate that product

Expected Results:  
displayed a page with one or more distro CDs on it offered for distribution

Indeed, thanks for reporting. I've updated the FAQ with the new URL. However, in the not so far future the link will be removed anyway as the August release of 1.4 is very old and Gentoo 2004 is only a few weeks away :)

i always forgot to mention this. SwifT, can we add our own http://store.gentoo.org in the faq?
