It is very confusing that there is an Email namespace as well as a Mail one. Kake

Unfortunately, it appears to think it doesn't have enough disk space. The linux partition is only 120MB, and the distribution takes up almost half of that when unpacked. I removed almost all the installed packages to make space, but Encode seems to need several MBs to itself, just to compile. As it takes more than 24 hours to even get that far, I'm afraid I have to give up. Too many tests rely on Encode to attempt building without it (though it mostly works on my x86 box at work). -- Peter Haworth [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Boneless Herring - may contain bone" (product label at Sainsbury's)
i just remembered...
I'm in Cambridge tomorrow. Might have time for a jar before heading back to Baaf. Anyone around?
picnic on sunday
i'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this here yet, but we're going to have another picnic in london, a crisps/(void) crossover one. in the wise words of paul mison: "We'll meet at 2pm, on Sunday 2nd June, at Hampstead Heath BR, which is a short walk from Belsize Park on the Northern Line. http://www.streetmap.co.uk/streetmap.dll?G2M?X=527258&Y=185657&A=Y&Z=1 Feel free to extend this invite to any groups you like, and/or bring food to make it into a picnic, or whatever, really. If we don't get anyone bringing food I expect we'll wander for a bit." my mobile number is: 07986 003650 no, it really is - i've checked. each (void) meeting so far that i can remember has involved someone turning up from another country unannounced, so that'll be fun. i've got a kite that i'd like to fly. the only problem is that it's an amnesty international kite and i wouldn't want to affiliate people with ai who don't want to be affiliated with it. so please bring your own political kites, so that we can air duel. i'll CC: this to london.pm and squackers and things too, in case anyone there would like to come to the party. so be careful with replies! if it's very rainy we might not go - in which case an announcement will go out to that effect. i'm sorry if i've posted this to somewhere which has already been announced to about this - i've been very confused lately. see you there alex
