Re: [Condor-users] Can't install condor on my laptop

[Ahmed Hussain <ahussain03@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ben,

Here it is again...

The restriction seemed to be from your side.

I received this message:

"Your mail to 'Condor-users' with the subject
    RE: [Condor-users] Can't install condor on my laptop
Is being held until the list moderator can review it for approval.
The reason it is being held:
    Message body is too big: 1992722 bytes with a limit of 200 KB
Either the message will get posted to the list, or you will receive
notification of the moderator's decision."

I did not resend it because I thought you would eventually get it.

Ahmed

No I didn't.  Maybe compressing it might help it get through... not sure
if the limitation is on our side or yours.
