So long, long ago on here I saw a French document that was basically giving people basic gear to get as a Shadowrunner. I can't seem to find it, anyone know what I'm talkin' about? Willis?

I think this is what you are referring to. Here is the link from the original post. Actually if you just scroll down about half way on the second page of the Dumpshock link, you can find the translated version of the list.

This is the thread I got it from.

The correct link would be http://www.shadowforums.com/cyber-espace/spip.php?rubrique58 but the articles themselves were lost because of a technical issue - a database locked - that has been known for two years and never resolved. I'm not sure anyone has a copy.

Well like I said, in the Dumpshock post with the link, you can find the English translated version about halfway down the second page, posted by nekomiaou so Dumpshock has a copy.
