Michael,
Sounds like a good plan, and, because disk space is such a premium,
maybe we could get a little assistance from the good folks at Mandrake
in regards to this issue. I have looked at your pdf file, and you have
worked your butt off, man. We must find a way to get these rpms on an
ftp site, and test the hell out of them. I, for one, would surely help
out in this endeavor. Good work, and many thanks!
