I'd like a functional 7.0 on my laptop, mainly since I have no mission-critical data there (all in cvs), and the acpi support for newer laptops in 6.2 is crap (tried. no fun.). I can't seem to get a usable system with the snapsot iso, however. Lots of stuff gives errors. I burned 2 cd's (one cd-r, other cd-rw, different brands) on 2 different computers, so I presume it's not a burner issue, and I've never had a problem with the drive on the laptop. My current issue is needing the src dist to build the ndis wrapper for may crappy wlan. I'd be happy enough to get src from the ftp site, but so far as I can tell, the only thing for 7.0 is the snapshot, no 7.0/src folder. What's the 'right' way to do this? I don't see much on it in the handbook, but my experience with the handbook is I'm usually looking in the wrong place, so I'm all ears for someone to set me straight. Steve
