I tried amending ftp.planetmirror.com to planetmirror.com and got connected, but their "slackwarei" page has OpenOffice and such.

That'd be perfect, but I can't find it from their home page, logged in or not. Any way, I'm presently downloading it by ftp from a Belgian site. Thanbks, Rez. Archer

Interesting. I'll keep this for future reference. For now though, since I only use the stabl;e releases, the DVD iso is what I want: since 10.2, my method has been to d/l the iso and istall everything. Easy, and makes my nachines flexible. Later (after testing), I mount it, delete some stuff, add some other stuff and make tailred images. Now downloading via ftp from Belgium. Thanks for the response, Peter. Archer.

Exactly. Hence, my question. -- "Ubuntu" -- an African word, meaning "Slackware is too hard for me". "Bother!" said Pooh, as he lay back and lit Piglet's cigarette.
