No, I didn't. I didn't read the FAQ too carefully (shame). Also,
wwaves.com (and www.mac.linux-m68k.com) have been *very* slow for me
lately. It's tough to read the FAQ when I can only get 10K / 30 and then
the network freezes up.
I did try to install their flavor of Linux (VMLinux kernel,
Penguin-16); it could not mount a filesystem. Yes, I did tell it to go to
"root=/dev/ram" but it wouldn't fly. Debian is working now so I'm just
going to leave it alone.

How? Just drag & drop (within MacOs) or get them from within Linux?
