Doug,
    Thanks for the link. Try clicking on it - you get "file not found"
in about 50 different languages. I finally found a mirror site but the
download rate is only about 2.5k / sec on my DSL line. They seem to be
really busy. Looks like it will take days to get the ISO, but I was
hoping to have it by tomorrow. I'm trying to find a better mirror
site.
