Hi I have two wishes for a coming Mandrake distribution, the closed down workstation with user started LAN and Internet access and http in 'mirroring'. 1. My workstation is constantly up to a LAN with hundreds of other computers into LANs that is constantly sharing a router into the Internet. The ISP provider allows me to shutdown any daemon on my computer, so it is generally not visible to the others. This might be added to the installation script, as a closed down workstation. 2. During the last weeks the traffic was very heavy at ftp.sunet.se, as reported by 'archie' ftp => 149+ MB/s into a 150 Mb/s line divided by 1000 persons. I could not get into it one day, so I used netscape and http. The other day I started to study Debian Potato and used their installation program apt-get. Thus i got the whole shit entirely from sunet.se through http and that at a speed of about 150 kB/s. Please notice that this is the same night that ftp.sunet.se was completely full by people downloading Mandrake iso's. Is it difficult to add to rsync or fmirror the possibility to choose either ftp or http. regards guran
