I'm sitting at my desk, reconfiguring my network monitor, when the phone rings. Caller-ID tells me it's Anton Breusov. I pick the receiver up and say:

We could put mirrors information, proxy credentials and other things in just _one_ config. file. Having one file for proxy auth, one file for mirrors listing (mirrors.txt) etc. may confuse users. -- Luca 'NERvOus' Gibelli ([EMAIL PROTECTED] || [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Home Page: http://www.nervous.it BOFH excuse 6949: * CPU needs bearings repacked ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
