Get home from work, pop in the USB key, download the rsync to the mesh. Get up in the morning, grab rsync'd USB key, and take it to work. Dock in PC and update work's rsync. Do not underestimate the bandwidth of a 1GB USB key in a commuter's pocket! I do this with my Debian cache, and it's a good way of implementing a long-haul link for updating repositories and sending large e-mails. But today there is a networking problem: I'm curled up in my pit, sneezing, coughing, keeping fluids up and sipping brandy. Vik :v) ---- This PC runs Linux. If you find a virus apparently from me, it has forged the e-mail headers on someone else's machine. Please do not notify me when this occurs. Thanks.
