If we already have 2 disks and we're not going to go down to a single one again, we might aswell support installs over ISDN (which I am sure that many people in Germany will appreciate, as ISDN is extremely widespread here), or fit the stuff that currently is on the fixit-disk onto the 2-disk-combination. I'm sure there are more things we could support than just the two I mentioned. bye, Harold -- <Shabby> Sleep is an abstinence syndrome wich occurs due to lack of caffein.
