For a short time, I have some downloads available from debian.merseine.nu They are accessible only by using the rsync command: I prefer to run an rsync server rather than ftp because I believe the former is more secure (from my POV), and if necessary I can throttle it.
I'm on ADSL: I cannot control http, so don't even think of it. If you're running Linux, rsync is included in your distribution. Otherwise, look to rsync.samba.org (where you will find several wondrous toys). Use this command to find what's available: rsync rsync://debian.merseine.nu/hercules/ I'm only allowing two concurrent connexions (unless I've stuffed things), so if you can't connect, be patient. I'd prefer you download after 12:00 UTC as that's less likely to get in my way.. To find the UTC on a Linux system: Numbat:~# date -u Sat Jul 26 14:15:22 UTC 2003 Numbat:~# Before choosing any big files, grab these files and read them: disk/README disk/notes All you will achieve by downloading all the big files is to annoy me. You probably want the contents of the conf directory too, it describes the machine's configuration. If you think it might not work for you, ask on this list. I probably can't tell you, but someone else most likely can. Oh, Both systems will IPL in 32 Mbytes, but the larger one you probably want to give at least 128. It does have XFree86 and KDE installed and it will start. Assuming its hostname is debian.example.com and firewall rules allow then a command like this on another Linux (or Unix) machine X -query debian.example.com :1 should get you a KDM login screen on it. -- Cheers John.
