Ultimate bug: bringing sanity to linux
You should win an award for the ultimate bug Telling new users they can use installation diskettes and giving no hint where one would obtain such a thing, yet on your home page you clearly indicate where people can download CD images! Those CD images are useless to a newby without the bootup/install diskettes for people who cannot go the network install route. After all these years, we are amazed on our side to see you still give no hint where these files can be downloaded. For this we congratulate you on a job remarkably badly done.

And how many permutations of links on this page giving no hint where to find these disks Do the math it is greater than 30^10... That is, greater than 5.9 times 10 to the 14th power Realistically, no one will scan that many permutations, and so, they invariably cry to me for help Nick... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
