I downloaded them from their website (using IE on windows):
ftp://ftp.mvista.com/pub/Journeyman/
It looks like their FTP server spits out malformed response headers, in an
attempt to be graphical & GUI. I couldn't get IE to reload the link above,
but I could get to it with a command line FTP client...

Hmm...I forget not everyone has a CD rom burner yet. Perhaps a qualifer for
any disto should be the ability to mirror the CD and/or sell copies at
minimal cost...
Of course, it's pretty hard to buy a Debian Slink (or RH 5.x) CD in today's
world, so most w/o a CD burner would be stuck (or have to ask for help) as
well...
