Hi Phill,

The ISO I'm using is the one Julien pointed us to in this list.  The
Maverick beta:

Torrent:
http://people.ubuntu.com/~gilir/lubuntu-maverick-alpha2.iso.torrent
Download:
http://people.ubuntu.com/~gilir/lubuntu-maverick-alpha2.iso
Md5sum:
http://people.ubuntu.com/~gilir/md5sum.txt

Isn't that the one we're all working with at this point?  If not, then
I'm more confused than I realized. :)

Regards,
Bob
