Even if you can't tell the difference between the original and something that's compressed in a lossy format (such as MP3), there's still a reason for lossless!
With MP3, if you compress a file which has already been in MP3 format, then each time you will introduce more artifacts into the audio. Likewise, JPEG may look just the same as TIFF on your monitor, but if you take JPEG to a professional printer you will get laughed at!
Let me dumb it down a little bit so you might be able to understand:
1) DC systems do not read CD-RW material out-of-the-box.
2) Even if a DC could be made to read a CD-RW, it would not contain the logic to read a 3-bit CD-RW as described here.
Therefore, a DC would not be able to read these discs at all. (as they cannot read a DVD, or a piece of cardboard with writing on it, etc..)
Please think before you post.

Please, just try a netinst image.
It's about 30MB, and only retrieves the necessary packages off of the internet / other sources.
UUdecode that Link and it's goatse.cx

Must be a graduate of the Dan Quayle school of spelling.
Oh boy the moderators are sharp today...
It would be good to see someone create an open-source 'equivalent' of the p2p protocol with the excellent features of FastTrack.
Try OpenFT / giFT.

I don't know what the moderators are thinking. They're about as confused as the posters.
Disables the keyboard input for the Netscape application, not the whole computer!
More crashes perhaps? Having WinMe and Win98 on the same machine seems a bit ridiculous.
Check this out. When you install the JRE, it asks which browser you want to configure to use it. (including IE)
"Insightful" .... sheesh!
Seeing how CPU's don't make noise and all....
This bug is described here.
I think there's a fix in hand.
Seriously... pick up one of these. Any power supply should be able to be retro-fitted with one of them. No need to buy a whole new PS.
VCD is MPEG-1... fair quality and about 74 mins of video on a CD-R
The article here is talking about putting DVD MPEG-2 video on CD-R, which gives you about 20 minutes. How this post got a score of 2 is beyond me...
Trust me
Doesn't happen on my system. Scrolls right over the ad.
No. Up2date is available for all users. If you download redhat, you can use it.
This is quite humerous!
Thanks for the laugh!!

Why don't you just put them on DVD, eh?
You'll have just as much luck trying to get your DC to read the disc!
Don't forget all those with PCI DVD accelerators! Accelerated DVD playback on a PentiumIV will be more choppy than on a "slower" PIII system.
Doesn't sound like a trivial problem to me.
That's nuthin.... Check out the Evolt.org Browser Archive. There's pretty much every browser that ever existed there.
