the cd contains only the ports skeletons. What I want is the complete sources for all applications. CVSup, I believe, will only make the source sets uptodate. bye --- Mike Maltese <mike@pcmedx.com> wrote: > Tadimeti Keshav wrote: > > >Hi all > >I use a dial-up connection to connect to the > internet. > >Thus it is painful to install via ports.

It only takes 15 minutes to get to the airport and you are cheuferred there in a limozine. BeOS Air only has limited types of planes that only hold new luggage. All planes are single seaters and the model names all start with an "F" (F-14, F-15, F-16, F-18, etc.). The plane will fly you to your destination on autopilot in half the time of other Airways or you can fly the plane yourself. There are limited destinations, but they are only places you'd want to go to anyway. You tell all your friends how great BeOS Air is and all they say is "What do you mean I can't bring all my old baggage with me?" ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
