Lan and All- The quoted message omits attribution to jhriv for the announcement prose, so Lan, your thanks are due to him. jhriv- 1. I bet rpath would like to receive a copy of Lan's comments. 2. Brian said that if we requested more CDs he would be glad to send them. I'm sure that a number of people wouild be interested in checking out their stuff from CD. Would you like to follow up on that? ..jim -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
