Ok, I'm still a bit confused about a couple things...
1.  Some mirror site have a README, others dont.
2.  All the mirror sites I've looked at have a collection of
   bz2 tarballs in the REQUIRED directory.    But the path names
in the tarballs don't seem to correspond with paths described in the 
README, and
I doubt they would work as they are.  Do I need to move these path names 
around?
3.  The README talks about using the packadd command, but no package files.

I'm probably missing something basic here...
