Axalon....no, I didn't miss that part. That is in the next part of the
page with the heading "How to contribute to the debugging?" That part
does not yet concern me since I haven't gotten anything to help to debug
installed on a computer. What with a 600+ meg download at my paltry
28,800 connect speed, I figured I'd have lots of time to worry about
subscribing to the cooker during/after the download.

I'm sorry but I haven't any idea at all what the above paragraph means.
There's a negative tone to it but I derive no meaning at all from the
words.

What's related, my question as to how to download an image I can burn
into a CD? Why yes, that was the problem I ran into, no apparent ISO,
yep!

Again, it seems like you're speaking in a foreign language to me in the
above. What doesn't help much? You du'ed a directory on some system
with switches that aren't listed in "Nutshell" and got 654 Meg as an
answer? So?
You have gotten what worked out? I don't slam things and don't know
what I could possibly say or type that would make anything take longer??
Create my own iso from what? What are you talking about? I'm sorry, I
simply don't understand your post at all?!!
It was a simple question, "How does one download the oxygen
distribution?"
