This is a pain if someone only needs a module for e.g. a nic. This would require downloading 5M when you only need a 15k module. Perhaps obsolete kernels could be removed? Charles seems to have 186M of kernels/modules, and only the 2.2.19-3 kernel has all known security holes fixed, so the others shouldn't be used anyway. > > * space savings over individual files > * tarballs only take a few minutes to download even at V.90 speeds Agreed, but IMHO it's still a waste of bandwidth. > > Archive developer directories on the shell server that haven't been > updated within the last six months.
