Dear Goh Lip,

It is obvious that I made some kind of error in the last attempt to make the 
RepoJaunty directory.  This time it only took a bout 5 seconds to complete the 
task.  I checked the folder and this time Packages.gz was included, and the 
folder contained over 600mb of data.  I am pretty sure I have it correct this 
time.

Somehow I must have been in a loop of some kind last time.  Thanks again my 
friend.  I guess I will have to wait for the next install to see it work.  If 
not, tell me what I don't seem to understand.

It sure will be nice when the Internet download speeds can keep up with the 
processors.  I downloaded a 1.4gb file.  It was a torrent download and took a 
while.  What was interesting was the amount of time it took to divide was not 
too long, I didn't measure the time, but it was livable.  Then it took quite a 
while to copy the two CD's.  Moving it from CD to the hard drive on my new 
computer took a few minutes, but when I merged the 1.4gb and was using 
internal drive speeds and the ext4 file system, it was done in less than 10 
seconds.  Amazing.
