I have a question for anybody out there who cares? Is this going to screw with my doublespace drive? I assume OpenDOS will not come with doublespace but since it's 100% DOS compatable I assume I could still run my existing doublespace with it, no? I know that it's unlikely anyone has the answer to that question yet, but I figure I'll ask it anyways... I don't plan on upgrading to opendos until I've seen other people confirm that it's as good as it is, although I expect it will be even better... Expect and hope. >I didn't have this much trouble grabbing the 6M linux kernel source >through my (pokey 28.8K) modem (and I didn't have to use netscape >to do it). Or is it their system load cuz everyone wants OpenDOS >at 1AM EST? What OS is that machine running anyway? lol. I think that it's the caldera server though. I can't get through on an HTTP connect right now so I assume that means they're tearing it down to deal with the load or else (more likely) the load is just too much right now :-) - Calvin - www.cadvision.com/frenchc/ - Psychological Salvation HomePage - - - - Turangalila kicks serious tail (sig temporarily out of order) - - - --------------------------------------------------------------------------
