Ok, I thought that might be the case--some things compress better than
others. You are also right about the small diff not being worth the
time...on my machine it takes a _very_ long time to (de)compress
something that large.

That's very kind, but I'll just download it. I would want to pay for
the shipping, cd, and your trouble, and I'm not in the position to do
that now. If I was, I would offer a donation to your project and a
host of other great Open Source projects I've made use of! :)
Besides, I can download it in almost as short a time as the Postal
service can get it here. I started the download last night, and got
almost 50M, so it won't be too bad.
One more thing: could you provide an md5sum on the ISO so I can check
it once I have it?
Thanks,
Ben
