Thank you for this suggestion. Unfortunately the source files aren't explicitly pointed out in the downloads section of the Sorcerer website.

The stuff are meant to be fresh, and updatable "magically" via some cron job. It would be difficult for someone like me to keep up with such updates, too. Unless of course they have an rsync server. That might make it easier. Perhaps you can point me out to one such server I could start pulling stuff from? > I checked with the SGL people, and they estimate that SGL ISO and > sources should make up 2 CD's in all (/var/spool/sorcery roughly 529 MB, > 200 MB for ISO, plus KDE & Gnome). Yikes. This is -REALLY- sounding like a distribution for bandwidth-laden people. --> Jijo - -- Federico Sevilla III :: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Administrator :: The Leather Collection, Inc.
