Thank you very much. My computer's clock is off by 30 minutes, though on bootup Linux eventually accomodates that through xntpd. So, I suspect my computer's clock problems led "mirror" to get all files. The "mirror -T ..." saves me a lot of fretting, saves me a lot of phone time, and gives me willingness to alter my computer's clock (with "clock -wu"). -- Jim Burt, NJ9L, Fairfax, Virginia, USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mnsinc.com/jameson "If merely 'feeling good' could decide, drunkenness would be the supremely valid human experience." --William James, Varieties of Religious Experience -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
