I wouldn't count on the Zip. Just did a `du' on my CVS Linux kernel archive
(containing branches for Linus' 2.1.x releases, Jes' Linux/m68k 2.1.x releases,
lots of vger copies, and my personal tree, all since December 1997 only) and I
saw 157832 KB.
BTW, will you guys do the m68k releases too?
Greetings,
