	Linux is not just wonderful; it's downright amazing. On this 
machine (my #2) it let me get into the gleanings folder, while #1 was 
(is!) still downloading, and delete stuff! (Fwiw, having succeeded with 
ssh into #1, I did the scp back into #2 from there -- if that matters.) 
What's more, I can delete stuff (particularly whole ISOs) faster than the 
other machine can pour them in.

	This is looking propitious, and then some.

	I may yet get F8 back onto that machine -- *with* the files I 
don't want to lose ...
