I'm sure. I can continue to do my best to keep things slightly moving
and coordinated. However, I simply do not have the time or even
programming expertise to fill Enrique's shoes.

I don't know if this is quite true. We just need coordination so that
people know, say, ok, Bill is working on this or that, so I'll work on
something else.
As for release plan, I think I outlined my vision in the previos
document. Obviously, a feature-complete, functioning (obviously not
bug free) boot-floppies is what we need for Nov 1.

Ok -- well that's good news. I think we knew about modules.tgz.
BTW, which kernel are you using? There isn't a kernel-image 2.2.12 in
the archive yet is there?

Good.

Yes.
