Counter questions: How much disk space is needed? Does one have to mirror all
existing kernels or just the recent ones? I administer a machine with ~4GB ftp
space, ~50-60 percent used already here at the college which is not the real
killer, but should work (p200, 128MB, 100MBit ethernet which is rather
relativated by our current 10MBit, later 34MBit connection to the net).
I would be happy to donate something in the form of disk space and load
on the machine back to the community :-)
