Hello all,
 Did something major change on the VESA ISO from 9grid.de? I use it alot here, and recently (yester eve? morn?) grabbed a fresh copy to install on a machine here, which not only died when= starting rio, but took about
1/2 hour to actually start. After much digging, I found the old CD, which w= orked fine. I can give more specifics if
this would help. Thanks in advance,

The subject of this essay (the = Myth of Sisyphus) is precisely
this relationship between the absurd and = suicide, the exact
degree to which suicide is a solution to the absurd. = The=20
principle can be established that for a man who does not cheat,
what= he believes to be true must determine his action.
Belief in the absurdi= ty of existence must then dictate his
conduct. It is legitimate to wonde= r, clearly and without
false pathos, whether a conclusion of this importance
requires forsa= king as rapidly possiblean imcompre-
hensible condition. I am speaking, = of course, of men
inclined to be in harmony with themselves.
