Hi, According to http://www.debian.org/devel/incoming_mirrors, these are the Incoming mirrors, ftp://llug.sep.bnl.gov/pub/debian/Incoming/ (US) ftp://debian.midco.net/debian/Incoming/ (US) ftp://ftp.lh.umu.se/pub/linux/debian-Incoming/ (Sweden) ftp://ftp.de.debian.org:/pub/debian-incoming/ (Germany) I just checked, and only `llug.sep.bnl.gov' and `ftp.lh.umu.se' are operational. Where is the canonical `Incoming' that is being mirrored? I couldn't find it anywhere on `*.debian.org'. Attached are two scripts that I use to download the boot floppies so that I can try them out, perhaps they may be of use to others.
