With a big enough hammer, you can force anything. Yes, you can force the creation of CD's, but then you get a CD that has software that is NOT installable, in this case w3-el. It would seem that the "correct" thing to do would be fix our broken ftp.d.o archive. Potato has been in relatively good shape as far as dependancys. I think the issue here is there has been discovered an error in our slink archive, and I do not understand the resistance to fix the error. -- Jim Westveer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------------ "Bother," said Pooh as he struggled with sendmail.cf.
