Yes and no. I have a bit of a problem here that I'm sure you can appreciate. If I send the email the minute I upload the fix, no one will get the update for an hour (or more) depending on which mirror they choose. This means people are upset because the updates that have been announced are not available. So we had to delay the announcement by an hour or two (usually not more than this, and certainly not days... please tell me what update was announced days after it was released... I'll wager you can't). The delay is that so when people are alerted that the update has been made, most mirrors should have it available. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED], OpenPGP key available on www.keyserver.net // Danen Consulting Services www.danen.net, www.freezer-burn.org // MandrakeSoft, Inc. www.linux-mandrake.com 1024D/FE6F2AFD 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD Current Linux uptime: 9 hours 34 minutes.
