cryptic references??? I was asking if Penguin17 should be included as well.
Its not yet in disks-m68k, since there was not enough resonance.

Does not sound good, can you send a log?

How can you edit that, without loggin in? I mean, you need a login prompt to
login...

Just send a diff, I will check it in. No guarantees though, that it will
be included on the potao CDs, since the boot-floppies for them may be the
ones which were uploaded last week. But it will be in the next boot-floppies
version, and, if Nick integrates it, and somebody else includes it in the
main docs, it will be in the online version. But please don't write prosa,
look at the full docs first, before you try to write whats allreay written.
