You're right; I totally missed that. My apologies to Kai Grossjohann. I suppose it's possible to obtain package lists organized by CD, so one could figure out *which* CDs one needed. if it were absolutely necessary to get the CDs by mail. I might also think that the sorting of CD contents by popularity would mean that the first two or so CDs would take care of enough of what one wanted that an 8 hour download for the remaining packages of interest wouldn't be necessary. So it's still not clear to me that it's a problem, I guess. -c -- Chris Metzler cmetzler@speakeasy.snip-me.net (remove "snip-me." to email) "As a child I understood how to give; I have forgotten this grace since I have become civilized." - Chief Luther Standing Bear
