with the usual lag - i started downloading Mdk 9.0 ISO images. probably will get it done until tommorow. the 'mandrake9' directory is currently not accessible from ftp.
we curerntly have about 2.7GB free space. the ISOs will probably take about 2GB. i think of dropping the 'updates' for mandrake 8.0 and 8.1 - each of them is about the size of one ISO image file ;) if anyone has a comment regarding this (pro or con), please speak up. after that - we'll see what we can do for redhat 8.0 . here we have a problem - our server still uses redhat 6.2 - so dropping the 'updates' for this version of redhat might be a bad idea. any suggestions as how to free disk space to allow storing erdhat 8.0 are welcome. note that i'm not in favor of deleting the ISOs for the former distributions (mdk 8.2, redhat 7.3) for a while, before we see that the new version gets massively installed with no problems. this is especially true for redhat - whose last 4 '.0' versions were quite disastrous. can't say about mandrake - i never used it. -- guy "For world domination - press 1, or dial 0, and please hold, for the creator." -- nob o. dy
