CD/Installation/Everything problems

[Michael Richardson]

Actually, I think I've got it good- if somebody could please, please,
please, please for the love of all that is or isn't holy, send me
.yup.db.diff, .yup.db.init, .yup.db.list, and .yup.db.stat.  Or let me know
where to get it.  Or something.
It's not on the FTP server, sadly enough.

I'm finally able to get into the install program (using hd-install) but it
won't recognize the CD that I'm trying to install off of- it's missing those
four files.  So if somebody could please send me those, I'd be eternally
grateful.
Thanks,
-M
