Hello Fred,

...will us poor unemployed 8.1 users be able to upgrade via FTP? How >about if we just want to get bits of 8.2, like the new OpenOffice.org version >and the new KDE? Can we do that?

Just go to http://www.kde.org where you can download the latest KDE (3.1) for free and http://www.openoffice.org where you can download the latest openoffice packages. If you have a lot of time on your hands you can download/install the tar balls, otherwise I would recommend the rpm's. ~~Nick _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!
