Does anyone in Kolkata have FC5 DVD/CDs?

I bought the LFY May issue...DVD turned out faulty.
Bought Chip May issue...DVD was faulty.
Bought Chip May issue AGAIN.....all FC5 iso's are working except fc5 disc-2!!:(

The FC5 disc-2 iso can be fixed but one has to have a live internet connection...which I don't have.

I'm really disappointed...if anyone in Kolkata has a working FC5 DVD or CDs plz let me know...I'd really appreciate it. I'm ready to give 6 blank CDs in return.

Thanks

I wish someone here personally owns FC5 DVD/CDs and stays in Calcutta!
I tried the websites but they are not of much use. But thanks for all ur help.
I wish I could buy it but I don't earn. But I have many blank CDs and I can give that in return. Still...I hope someone from my city shows up here:(

Well..thanks hellomotto but I'm afraid I have 32bit Intel Celeron PC.
But hey.....if your friend has all these cool distros he must be having a high-speed internet connection! Or I can request him to get me FC5 or any other distro...Or atleast we can both be good friends coz I've no friend in Kol who's as enthusiastic about Linux as me:) So I think it would be very useful if I can get in touch with your friend. Just let me know where he stays and his contact info (email id or phone number). Btw I stay in park circus in Kol. Thanks...
