Hi Gordon,

    I offered to build a -current set of binaries because the -current
distribution is so much better than the 1.3.2 release.  I've been
rebuilding from source and hitting all the normal pitfalls one could expect
when being clueless, so I'm well aware of the need for a set of recent
binaries.  

    It looks like Erik already has a set of 1.3.3 binaries ready to roll
and is looking for testers.  I've got that second 3x, but I just found out
its IDPROM is hosed.  I've called Mouser and ordered a new part - that
ought to arrive in a week or so.  Once that comes in I can test out the
1.3.3 binaries too, or add a second disk to my first box and try to build a
-current binary tree.

    I'm up for helping out by building snapshots.  As you know I've got
some serious time pressures so sometimes I'm around, and other times I'm
dealing with family emergencies; it's hit or miss.  That's one of the
reasons I let that CG4 drop for so long.  I could try to set up that second
3x to autobuild a set of monthly unofficial -current snapshot binaries, but
first I should manually build an install snapshot just to get the ropes
down.      

    I don't really know what I'm doing and don't want to step on any of the
toes of people who _do_ know what they're doing.  Still, I'd like to help
if I can.   Would this be of help to you?
