Hi guys

Here are a few requests. Not sure all of them is viable due to the size of them, but then again that is exactly why it is requested.

1.) Witcher enhanced edition upgrade for the PC

2.) GTA 4 - all patches for the PC. GTA 4 is now R99 at most retailers. It is an awesome game but unfortunately you will require a few Gig's of downloads before being able to play this classic.

3.) GTA 4 graphics update. There is a patch out that enhances the graphic in amazing ways on the PC apparently

Thx

I wonder if you could include the latest Ubuntu distro and maybe a whole lot of linux desktop customisation stuff.

+1 to GTA 4

thanks

Hey all

I am now in charge of the disc so any ideas, comments, complaints should be addressed to me and to make sure that I do not miss any I invite you all to drop me a mail michael at panorama dot co dot za. I will check this thread every once in a while and will take into consideration your requests.

If you can send me links it would make my life easier and will improve the chances of me getting the files you need and not including the files you don't. So please send me the links for the GTA 4 stuff and then I can request permissions etc. Regarding Ubuntu, if there is space I will consider it but I cannot promise anything however I am not against including Linux stuff on the disc I will drop it in favour of larger game patches and other more "critical" or desirable files.

I also plan to start working on a new interface for the disc so keep an eye out for it in the coming months.

GIMP 2.8 and if there is some space left a selection of plug-ins to fill the disk?

Game trailers. Hmm yes. I remember from back in the day when I could actually play games on my PC. These days this brick does Solitaire and not very well either. :?

Most of the trailers are HD, so your system might hate my Doo.

doo_much I have sent you a PM. GIMP 2.8 is not on the cover disc for July issue due to a space issue that cropped up at the last minute of development but I will guarantee you that it will be on the August cover disc.

Any big files you guys would like on the disc? Today is the last day for the May disc before I send it off to the FPB for classification.

I wonder when the day will come that the cover disc will become obsolete...
