instalation problem-- was Re: fc3 download

[John McCann]

Al:

Am still here, courtesy of DC's paratransit, though they're not all that 
late yet, <smile>.

Okay, big-time thanks for this report. Assuming that the 02/19/2005 
iteration of disk 1 is still available, I'll start that download now, and 
let it take its sweet time while I'm out partying, <smile again.!

John
