Sorry, I missed to cc the list on my last reply, that's why I leave all the quoting. Mea culpa.

Of course we could set up a cdimage-unofficial.debian.net page like the one I have now at cdimage.trasno.net and point there to all the unofficial mirrors and images out there, but I think that for that we already have cdimage.debian.org, don't we? Well, there is no problem for me anyway to get that cdimage-unofficial.debian.net domain and point it to my page and add there all the stuff you all want. In fact, I have already added that hostname to the db, and configured my apache to answer to that domain name, but it will take some time for the db to be updated. > how much disk space does all your images take up ? i currently am using > about 25G of disk space to maintain an archive of slink, potato (official) > and woody, sid and hurd (unofficial, i386 only) images. 2144840 /home/ftp/unofficial-debian-cds/woody-hppa 2363836 /home/ftp/unofficial-debian-cds/woody-ia64 2993512 /home/ftp/unofficial-debian-cds/woody-sparc 3452432 /home/ftp/pub/unofficial-debian-cds/woody-i386 2802928 /home/ftp/pub/unofficial-debian-cds/.more/woody-arm 2911896 /home/ftp/pub/unofficial-debian-cds/.more/woody-m68k 2878172 /home/ftp/pub/unofficial-debian-cds/.more/woody-powerpc totals... 19547644 But there are at least alpha cds wich should be comming any day soon, as soon as they fix some things in making cds bootable (any alpha guy around that can tell us how this is going?), and others should be coming as well, besides the growing of the new ports as they catch up.
