My cable connection has a 16Kb/sec upload limitation. Hardly enough
to even bother the machine. Not many people will be able to get them
from my machine with that speed.
And, only the src.rpm's will be usefull, alpha.rpm files aren't (for
most people).

That could be possible... (and select a _working_ one too -->
NB20000609 doesn't work, NB20000608 did).

probably not... xfs will be working it's butt off, uncompressing &
rendering the fonts. Your machine will seem to hang, but eventually,
when xfs is done it'll work. It's unacceptable (the ammount of mem
& the time needed to do this job). This is why it's nice that mozilla
has it 'out of the box'.
I'm going to get a working set of rpm's out of the door (it'll probably
be 20000608)... People who want to see the nightly builds available
in rpm form please voice out...
