    You do good work! Around issue #68 was starting to use WinUAE. A little faster   
   than putting them of a floppy and moveing to A2k.

    I already crashed my A1 the second. The first evening -- I skipped the Debian   
   login request to "Shutdown". Hey, I turned it off like my A2K. Big Oops.=:o   
   Won't Bootup because of 'fsck'. I too many files screwedup. So, I reinstalled   
   it from scratch.    
    The other night, I d/led an IBrowse2.x Demo to checkout the BSDsocket.lib.   
   I normally use GDM and so ran UAE and IBrowse. Oops.=:o I think the socket is   
   not too good. It trashed my /root/ dir. But, I wasn't going to reinstall the   
   system.  Ran -- fsck /dev/dha2  and answered Y to everything. Bam! I bootedup.   
   :)

    Well, I like to know how your saying that to system. I tryed a OS 3.5    
   install; didn't work. Wouldn't assign the CD.
