Thanks for the reminder.... 

If anyone on this mailing list isn't able to grab the gentoo sources in a 
reasonable amount of time (ie. dialup) I'm willing to copy and burn to cdrw 
or dvdrw anything you desire... Just ask me via my email address.

What I prefer to do, is work with users that are in the USA and are willing to 
swap disks or at least give me a $1.00 or $2.00 to cover material and 
shipping. That said, if you're really financially strapped... I'll assume all 
costs involved... Whatever... I'm easy.

Cheers and May the Penguin Be Kind to You.

P.S. Kde 4.0 is a real looker. Compiled free of defects, aside from having to 
fix a few USE's that I didn't have prior...
