This morning, I was checking several of the mirroring sites that offer
rsync (and use it to sync up with slackware.com) and I found that all of
those that I checked are still many days behind. I can not get into
slackware.com (on an rsync command) and I believe something is amiss,
here. Whether it is a DOS or an internal glitch, I guess we will have to
wait and see.

After a couple of the mirror sites get updated, I will try again.
