Wow Brian, now that was a real story there! I feel like being among old
warriors, survivors, trading war stories from the good times :-), only
without the bragging...
I have two questions for either you or anyone else on the list:
1. How can I report a bug in Slackware?
(Because I feel I have to share this as a bug, and also the workaround,
with other people from the distro)
2. How can I get a good connection speed from linuxpackages.net?
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Blessings,
Eduardo
