[Xastir] Tiger2006 maps problem?

Hi all,
	I've been beating my head against the wall of the
Tiger 2006 maps that I downloaded from xastir.tamu.edu
(which seems to be down right now).  I get several things
that don't work well about those maps.  One is a lack of
colors, the other is no fills anywhere.  No water fills, no
parks, no built-up city areas, nothing.  I've tried every option
I can play with, including messing with the dbfawk files and
I get nothing like the maps I get from the Online/tigermap.geo
server.

Is there a problem with the was the tiger 2006 maps were
created?  I see all the outlines of water, in a blue color, but
no fills at all.

Is there a location to download the maps that are on the
tigermap.geo server?

I will be running disconnected from the Internet so I need
maps that I can download locally to my machine.

Any ideas?

Thanks very much,
Craig
