[ltp] IBM Access button

[Petrigi MARCU]

I have a R50e with Ubuntu on the entire hd too. I didn't burned the
restore cds before deleting my backup partition. I called IBM and they
asked me 60 euros to send the restore cds my mail. Since I'm far to be a
fan of that operating system which name I won't even mention, I find it
absurde to pay for something that I all ready own - the license. 

So if  someone on this list could help me an put those cds 'online' on
some ftp place (I have some).

Thanks Petrigi
