Ok I did get these images, but there is a problem with the OpenDisc.
The linux installer kiwix-installer-linux is broken.  this script looks
for xulrunner-linux folder.  Its not there and fails.  It works for
windows though. I did send an email to the sfd Mailing list
 regarding it.  I know that OpenDisc is maintain elsewhere, however they
are the ones putting it out as an "official" SFD distribution.

I believe on the FreeCulture dvd there are documentation/papers produced
by SFD and others for our purposes.  However, they do have some
documentation on the SFD wiki regarding this.  I'll look back into this.

I suppose I/we could just create one based on SFD graphics.  But graphic
software is not my strong suit.  Gang, particularly Jim, sincer you're
going to be manning the table with me, could you drop me an email
regarding what you think of theses graphics:

And of course I want the rest of the board's feedback.

Thats all for now.  I am trying to concentrate on my interview for
Wednesday.  It looks like a real challenge.  Does anybody know the
difference between a ccr and a scr?  I did Google it.  Looks like they
both have something to do with magnetic card reading.
