So?

  However, PNG won't replace JPEG. For photographic images that can
  tolerate loss, JPEG usually produces smaller, more easily transferrable
  files.

But anyway it is not a priority ;-). PNG will do the work.

1. it's not meant to be photos (final won't have)
2. drakx doesn't have libjpeg handling to keep as small as possible

Can you ensure please that the pngs are as crushed as possible (this 
applies also to ads in the rcs and final)?  I have been doing installs 
with vgalo to avoid having to d/l them on network insts and load/render 
them on cdrom/hd insts.

my good mirrors have all dropped like flies ;(, each little pic takes 12 
mins :P
