Incidentally, the http://www.brorson.com/gEDA/geda-install-20050329.iso no longer seems to be available on line. From a data preservation perspective/industrial archaeology perspective, perhaps the gEDA project should consider collecting the older tar.gz releases and preserving them on a central repository for future reference.
