ouch
picking only "i386", and "free" (and no source at the moment - well we will see how much disk space is left), should save a LOT, but we only have 38GB of spare space on the box we are using - so fingers crossed.
well mark lang is coming into some money, and he has an oc3 lying around.... lol biggest (tech) mistake of my life (so far) was meeting him just after he got his bank loan and thinking "1.5 pence a minute for 14.4k? never fly..."
We probably won't mirror userlinux.com, but hopefully we will have some bandwidth on the day. Debian mirrors seems relatively easy to set up, but I guess we'll discover the tricky bits when it is finished downloading and we come to test it.
mmm, must admit with relatively few computers and cable I just use remote mirrors, what's a few hundred megs nowadays. sucks not to be in sweden getting 100 mbit tho.
My first Knoppix to harddisk install - fairly easy.
"fairly easy" c'mon, only thing on the planet easier is the mepis/debian install...
