Hi Chris,
I'll make sure to rsync tonight and I'll do an install
on the other partition in my alpha and test things
out.
I'll take the time to try out as much of the distro as
possible to find any problems. How is the kde 2.01
packages going? I have not rsync'd since before
christmas, so I know there is much to catch up on. I
would like to have one of the demo disc. I did get a
CD burner recently, so I'll try to make a bootable
image and test out the installer.
Here is my address:
Octave J. Orgeron
1029 Meridian Ave. #185
San Jose, Ca 95125
I saw over break that a sparc port came out for slack.
How is that going? Well keep up the good work and I'll
test out as much as I can and try to submit fixes
before the end of sunday.
