   "Doc is unclear" is an understatement.  :-)  But that is what we are
here for, right?  I already tried XF86Setup.  It did better than
Xconfigurator, but still would not give me 24 bit.  Not that big an
issue, but it *bugs* me. :-)  The TLAN bugs me a lot more, however.
Does anyone have ideas on supporting it for an FTP install?  I can't
code it, but I have lots of machines to test it on.

   No problem.  I will address it in another post to keep the threads
clean...  However, is there a problem with me shipping a FTP mirror
<including the NoCD directory> or do I need to ship a clean
distribution? <without the NoCD directory>  Also, who changes the
distribution directory?  I need to know when changes occur...  <Like
adding rawrite3...  Did it get in there yet?>
