alex even as i speak, im uploading the file to knoppixquake's server...358 out of 480 mb done. why dont we wait for KQ (im gonna refer to him as KQ from now on...too hard to type in the whole name) to get back on the forums and provide direction as to what he plans to do with the tarball. Of course you still need to set me up with an FTP id..so let me know whenever
