The CIPE site sounds fascinating. Congrats on your new status, Bruce,
they're lucky to have you.

Can you make CIPE-enabled Devil Linux CD's available to the group, even
as beta software, at standard KLUG prices? As I wrote in another email,
I may have need of CIPE very shortly, and I use tons of beta software
anyway. ;-)

Good. I'm not the only one turned off by the documentation. ;-)
