Yes, there are some, but they have a problem currently, the StartInstall_*
scripts are missing. Michael Schlue. is trying to correct this with my new
bf build, but tomorrow I should be able to upload official 2.2.16
boot-floppies for m68k, so we can have official test cycle 3 images. I will
not give the adress where Michael stores them, I do not know how much
traffic he can handle. If you have a permanent connection, you should be
able to build them yourself with debian-cd and using my recent bf build.
You should be able to find official rsync mirrors somewhere on the debian
pages, I use a german one, there should be ones nearer to your place, search
the pages or the debian-cd/debian-boot list archives. There is a reason why
rsync is favoured.

static IP is probably cool for you... say how much does a house cost up
north?
I dont think youre problems were m68k specific, other lucky guys will notice
if problems remain.

Sources for netscape are available? Where??? You are talking about mozilla?
Its packages and even works little on m68k, last time I tried. Maybe its
only in woody though.
