We should :). We got a problem because burning a cd is costly and then 
after you should really fast distribute the cds. So we gave up the last

For now the easiest thing to do is to download the one that is on my 
web page.

We are waiting for VW7.1 to redo a complete new esug cd. But this takes 
again time and energy :)
