I downloaded that file with dialup (32 hrs.) only to find out that it has to be
burnt. Alas I don't have a CD burner. Maybe that other guy will send me another
CD. Someone said the CDs cost money (not true) they are free. You have to wait 4
to 6 weeks (true). By the time I got mine 5.04 they were obsolete. Now everybody
is using 5.10. I looking for a CD burner also.
To Al,
A group of private citizens raised 12 million + (called 'The Fallen Hero's
Fund'). They are using the money to build a rehabilitation center for GIs with
missing limbs and so forth in San Antonio ,Texas. The reason they used private
money* was because they felt an IMMEDIATE need to complete this project without
getting permission from Congress or anybody else. The VA will run the facility.
They already have the foundation built.
So the idea of getting the government involved in anything to do with computers
is ridiculous. Buy the time they decide on anything, it will be obsolete.
To everybody else,
I haven't been able to keep Linux running long enough to know what your talking
about. Except Vincent's RPM, I think he's referring to Ranish Partition Manager.
*Cher gave 300,000 BofA,SA 175,000 and many, many others. I'm sure you can find
the complete list on the web somewhere. Look up Fallen Hero's Fund and donate.
