Hi Julien,

The link for the direct download reports back as broken in Chromium, it's
downloading via Firefox okay though ??!!

As soon as I have the iso and have md5'd it, I'll get it put onto the
server. I recall you said you can host it for 6 days?

Is the self-test of the cd now working, or should I update the instructions
for the a3.

Excellent work, I'm looking forward to finally getting Maverick Lubuntu onto
my system :-)

Regards,

Phill.
