Dear Goh Lip,

I may have already replied, however it did not show up in my sent emails, so I 
will answer again.

I ran the instructions again and put them in a RepoJaunty folder.  I must have 
made a mistake yesterday, because the data continued for 15 minutes or so and 
seemed to be in a loop.  I am convinced that was the case today, because when 
I ran the commands today, the last command that copied the data in RepoJauny 
took just a few seconds, and it also contained the Packages.gz package.  It 
contained a little more data than the last folder.  I copied the RepoJaunty to 
CD and will destroy the other CD.

I guess I won't get to use this CD until I reinstall next time, if I 
understand you correctly.  Thanks again my friend.

Steven
