Ok, I see the website back on line. I was interested in attempting
to do a virgin build, but found that I had problems. I run FC2,
and tried to do both the "straight" build, and the "chroot" build;
both of them failed during multiple compiles. You say that GAR
is being abandoned. Is there a time table for a new system for
storing/retrieval of source and building?

NB: I'm not interested in a remastering, like with Knoppix, but
rather as I stated a virgin build from sources.

Thanks for your time.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
