If not making it more publicly available is just a matter of bandwidth, I'd be willing to host it on my website (at least unless/until it gets me over 2TB/month of traffic - I redirect large downloads using Coblitz - http://codeen.cs.princeton.edu/coblitz/ - so that is highly unlikely). it is based on gentoo 2006.1 build for i686 kernel utils: 2.6.20-vs2.3.0.11-gentoo sys-cluster/util-vserver-0.30.212-r2 Mit freundlichen Grüßen / best regards Michael Luksch - perl -e 'print $i=pack(c5,(41*2),sqrt(7056),(unpack(c,H)-2),oct(115),10);' -- Daniel Clark # http://dclark.us # http://opensysadmin.com ___ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver
