Fw: help win winxp install

[Sam The Cat]

Morgan

     Thanks for confirming -- I find it funny that I would have to check 
mirror upon mirror to find a package needed for a basic part of the 
packgage.  Makes me wonder what I am missing ;)   I am not deeply involved 
in the SW distrbution via mirrors business but I would have thought that 
after a new release all mirrors would eventually be updated

Cheers
Eric
