Perhaps it is cutting out users who join the project with woody's
original release. You don't fall into this category. You *can* install
3.3.6-11potato18 though, which is probably pretty damn close to the
3.3.6-18 you miss so much.

Eh? Hmm. Maybe you forgot a 'not' somewhere in this sentence. Could you
please rephrase that, and more directly apply it to your case of not
putting the 3.3.6 packages on hold?

Oh man, I remember when I had a slow internet connection. Thank god for
AT&T and their cable connections! :) Downloading the new X packages
takes only a few minutes, and I imagine the old X packages would
download just as quickly for me.

All the best to you and your poor modem. :)
