	What is proper to say is that Karmic Beta version was made 
available from a web site that I learned and it was mobbed by 
lots of d/l people and I was one of those. It took 6 hours to 
get the file. On my Alma Mater, school mirror it takes 1 hour 
20 minutes.

	I now have Karmic Beta, LiveCD for a 32 bit machine on a 
cd-rom and am going to install it. I hope the bad bug written 
about grub got fixed. If not I will need to read that bug with 
the fix.
