<DIV>Hi, John</DIV>
<DIV>They show three, a minimalCD, universalCD, and a packageCD. I did not notice any info on the difference between universal and package. Do you have an idea? I downloaded universal anyways, I think I may have an older version of it somewheres but what the heck, I'll download the new one.</DIV>

I've never had a more rock-solid<BR>system. Gentoo is next on my list since the newest release uses a<BR>'universal' cd install, no more stage 1/2/3 from what I've read/seen so<BR>far ...<BR><BR>- Tony<BR><BR><BR>> Gentoo is free.
