You'll easily get a 128kb file within a few minutes. But seriously ... I don't think it's a good idea to invest major amounts of money and/or time into something that depends on the accuracy of a certain release date. Even -stable releases have been moved by several weeks in the past because of late show-stoppers. And 5.0-Release will not be a -stable release, so I expect it will not be particularly punctual. Also, remember that 5.0-Release already had been moved by one year (!) and now by another month. I think it's not completely unrealistic to expect that 5.0-Release might not happen in 2002. Disclaimer: I'm not an official release engineer etc., and I'm sure someone will tell me that I don't have a clue anyway. :-) Regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co KG, Oettingenstr. 2, 80538 München Any opinions expressed in this message may be personal to the author and may not necessarily reflect the opinions of secnetix in any way.
