Hi thanatermesis!
Once in a while I still boot up the live CD of Topaz when I'm at a public wifi station (It's actually a partition on my laptop, so no disc required). But when I try to reload in synaptic, I get 404s instead. I recall there was a patch for installed 'Elive' but I am not sure it will work with this live CD version. What are the current US elive repos now? (or what does the update do, under the covers anyway)
