Lars:

Thanks for that update, I also have a "slow" internet that is out on the
end of the network, just an added layer of inconvenience when it comes to
downloading larger files.  But, good to know on the "alt image is
over-sized and can't fit on CD"??? thought that was one of the points of
having the Alt image.  I spent some time erasing an old mini iso from a CD,
thought I could try that out on my "new" Sawtooth, which only mounts CDs .
. . but, other things to do.

What about the "Server" image?  Someone posted, perhaps on PPCFAQ that
using the server image and then adding a DE could be a possible option . .
. ????  Busy today . . . .
