Good evening, all.
    For those who are knew, early in 2005, I installed myself as the Zipspeak maintainer, then still having access to a windows 98 PC at school.  Zipspeak, a linux distribution you could unzip and run on a machine with Windows 98, was a that time languishing, maintainerless.  My hope, at that time, was to keep Zipspeak a viable option for those who need it.  However, I lost access to that PC, which didn't work for testing zipspeak anyway, and any and all others who could've tested for me can no longer do so.  It is no longer viable for me to release Zipspeaks into the wild, or even to support them, seeing as I don't use them.  Zipspeak's functions have been superceded by other distributions, such as GRML, Ubuntu, etc.  Effective immediately, I no longer willl support or maintain Zipspeak.
Thank you for your understanding,
Nick
