OK, no problem.

Along the line of promoting the new release, I know a OSDN developer
(slashdot.com, newsforge.com, linux.com, ...) from our LUG, who might
help me get an article posted when the new release comes out.  That's if
someone was to write such an article.  I'd be willing to give it a try,
along with your help.  Unless you wanted to write it.

Not looking good.  I only see CD, HDD, and Floppy.

True.  Speaking of menuconfig, someone (not me!) has been adding
packages without the corresponding help files...  :-)

OK, do you want to do something like AIM/ICQ, or a real phone call?
