Hi Luke I just came across this link by chance http://linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2001-09-28-008-20-NW-GN
For all Ximian loving users out there, a couple of guys (apparently from Mexico) have created ISO images of your favorite linux distro that replace the GNOME packages with Ximian's packages. According to their webpage they are working on Red Hat, Debian and Mandrake although only Red Hat 7.1 is available at the moment. They are looking for mirrors too. The URL is : http://uuxii.cofradia.org/ with a mirror on http://planetmirror.com/pub/uuxii/ Chris On Sun, 10 Feb 2002 21:49:52 +1100 (EST) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I just had a try at installing the latest Ximian Gnome; about a 250Mb > download, via the easy installer.
