This should work well :-) Did you notice the size of my new tarball?

It is really a waste of valuable CD space to supply more wallpapers. Instead we can supply a link where to download from a selection of ToriOS wallpapers, but I think most people who care about wallpapers will select their own favourites from other places or use their own pictures. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~torios Post to : torios@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~torios More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
