Disc 1 is essentially everything in the FTP archive EXCEPT the "des" and "UPDATES" directories. Disc 2 is labelled "Live File System", and appears to be what a system would look like if EVERYTHING were installed (again, EXCEPT "des"). I didn't expect Disc 2, and am still kinda confused as to what I'll ever do with it since I've got the full sources and the packages I want already installed... not that I'm complaining! ;v) GREAT STUFF! - Mike -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael Borowiec Network Operations Tellabs Operations, Inc. mikebo@TELLABS.COM 1000 Remington Blvd. MS109 708-378-6007 FAX: 708-378-6714 Bolingbrook, IL, USA 60440 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
