If squid or some other HTTP proxy does ipv6, a multihomed box could provide an easy way to reach a Debian archive from a v6-only network. Not that we shouldn't get Debian mirrors reachable with ipv6, just pointing out that there might be a good alternative. (good mostly because squid does caching, which is great if you point a bunch of machines at it. (increase maximum_object_size to 100000 KB so it will cache even the big .debs)) -- #define X(x,y) x##y Peter Cordes ; e-mail: X([EMAIL PROTECTED] , ns.ca) "The gods confound the man who first found out how to distinguish the hours!
