Ahh.. I note the word Faster and then I :-)
I read it is included with Genesis and Miami in the earlier emails so I have
had a quick scan through my Miamidx directory and I dont think I found
anything. Which files am I looking for and probably more usefully how the
flip do I install it? (Installed Samba a couple of times by following AA
tutorials). How about doing a install guide for that in one of the upcoming
AA issues? :-)
(or should I be looking for files and instructions online?)
Ohh. gonna give VNC a try soonish also.. :-)

Well if it broke down two weeks earlier for me I could have got a straight
exchange from work :-/ (work for comet) hopefully I can pull a few strings
and get a new one tommorow ;-)
