Let me know what you are running for mail etc.

I am going over to the irc channel.  If you are running linux with a gui,
you likeley have an irc client already.  If you are reunning windows and do
not have an irc client, I suggest XiRCON from http://www.xircon.com
got to this server, irc.debian.org, set it to port 6667
 irc.debian.org:6667 ) and once you are connected type /join #cobalt on the
dialog line

this will have you at
irc.dedian.com:6667 #cobalt

Perhaps we can sort it out as a group.
