I finally got 1.5 installed on my Performa-550 and kicked off a marathon
package build session this morning. If nobody else gets to it before me
I'll be uploading m68k packages. The 1.4.2 package build took me about
six weeks of processor time, so if I'm the only one working on them you
can expect the last of the packages by the end of January 2001.
