They come when they come. Canonical shipped one million Warty cds and probably far more hoary cds (I have no idea as to the number).

Perhaps you could ask a friend to download and burn the .iso file for you??

My cds haven't come yet, but I'm not complaining - they're free after all :) I just hate it when people abuse the system and order 100s of cds they'll never use. :(

If you have access to Linuxformat magazine in your Country buy the July edition it has 5.04 on the cover DVD

A solution to your problem would be to install debian and change debian's /etc/atp/sources.list to match an ubuntu one. I believe this will work, can someone confirm?
