If it helps atll the strange people at Ibib managed to rescue the collection that was running on the Linux distro side of the house, and it's stored in their historic-linux directory.. Oh and the very early Slackware stuff is available on the mirror of Slackware's FTP site on the Mirror Services site at ftp.mirrorservice.org. Incidentally a very early mirror of the TSX site is also inside that historic-linux directory. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8@gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."
