Yah, I know - pretty remiss of me.  But I've only just got my box back to
the point of actually being an internet-using machine.  I better make it
more secure though because it's going to be a perm. connect starting (I
hope) Friday...

Thanks Paul, I will jump on later and sort it (hope it doesn't take too
long...)

I may wind up getting CDs anyway.  Then if I ever need the rpms for anything
that comes standard, it's easy enough to get them...

Actually, it looks like the bulk of the stuff is only in the i386 folder
anyway - perhaps because only the kernel is specifically compiled for the
586/686 series processors?
