Thierry, Thanks for more excellent work on KerTeX. I don't use LaTeX myself, just good old plain TeX, but I always turn to KerTeX for that.
There does seem to be some minor permissions issues on downloads.kergis.com at the moment, affecting get_mk_install.sh, kertex_bundle.tar, and possibly other files. Those two at least consistently return `403 Forbidden'. The individual source tarballs don't seem to affected.
