You're welcome, and thank you for your suggestion. I must say, however, I 
*really* like *your* idea, & I just object to the way that you are trying to 
accomplish it. ;^p Anyways, since you volunteered, I don't want to 
micromanage everything, so I'll let you take care it, as I trust in your 
expertise. ;^p

Seriously, would you be interested in working with Marco to accomplish this? 
You must know more than me, because I wasn't even aware that there was a 
real database to work with.

Just to let you know what I have to work with, here is a list of what's on 
my end of the Internet:
1.) 486 8MB with approx. 500 MB.
2.) 1 floppy drive
3.) 10Mb ethernet
4.) "unlimited" floppies
5.) Michael Fratoni's custom kernels & busybox
6.) no CD drive or special stuff

So that means, what ever you want to do on the server end, must be able to 
work with busybox & the kernel, on a floppy disk. Once we get that list, my 
scripts can take care of the rest.

Unfortunately, I'm not too familiar with wget. However, as long as I know 
the url [or whatever], then we should be able to carry on from there.

Comments? Questions?


Sincerely, & with thanks,
Eugene T.S. Wong
