     Offer withdrawn but will still have the system on a Flash Drive.
     The reason is the review in Distrowatch's weekly newsletter 
accessible at the
URL below.

                  1st problem WiFi driver did not match the laptop's 
card and the writer
seemingly did not try to fix it.
                 2nd problem the installer is not working very well. It 
said it was
offering choice of two but the chosen file system did not get installed, the
chosen user name did not get installed, graphic login did not work but for
dedicated *nix users this presents little problem as terminal login with the
user name from the USB and startx worked.
