Right, and besides, all sources are included.  Sorry, I have hidden
them a little bit, they won't get automatically transferred to
your machine, you have to place your mouse pointer on a link 
labelled "sources" and gently press the left mouse button.

BTW, some things I have forgotten to mention (pretty obvious though):
Sparemint is "work in progress", it's far from being ready, even
substantial stuff is still missing.  It's up to you if you consider
it an opportunity to update *some* of your software or as an
invitation to make your contributions and help to make it mature
towards a real distribution.

You should also bear in mind that almost all files on the Sparemint
site are auto-generated.  You should expect broken links here
and there and other things that may go wrong.  And please have
mercy, my web-design talents are very limited.

Ciao

Guido
