I reckon'd that too Todd. I figured I already had more than could
be contributed. Still, what's the problem with puttin 'em on the
ftp mirrors? .. minus the name games of the past?

On CD1, d4x started all over again. NBFD. I'm lettin all 3 iso's
out on bichtttorent now, so y'all might not get as bothered by
Mandrake's (lack of) supply system as I'm gettin to be. If I've
got anything worthwhile in the mornin for 2 & 3, I'll try a resume.
But not with bitchtorrent. Still figure a d/l by ftp would be the
ticket. Why the games? Are things that slim?
