add you this to the powerpc html page? I'll do it, when i have some more time
for it.

Second: i cannot find my tarball in Incoming. Please save it from your mirrors
Incoming to a better place. 

I hope gpm is now correct! Please test it. 

For the tarball: I'm in the progress to build a new one (with changes file, so
it goes to disk-powerpc), but there are some problems ... i need some days. 
Don't hurry me :-) 

Please report problems for the tarball to me: which perl file was it -- that
was missing for dselect?? awk will be included.

For mark: welcome! Nice to have you here on the list!

Bye,

    Hartmut
