go for it - from a mirror point of view. unfortunately i think the current system doesn't encourage a whole heap of end user feedback - only mirror admins and they are probably too busy anyway (and if they are developers it is probably worse in terms of available time, for testing). in future, we need a methodology of moving the new images `out' but in a "release candidate" fashion so that vendors don't attempt to burn these, but there is some timeline for end users to know about a "testing period" and for it to propagate out to mirrors so they can download it normally. i am one of the mirrors who manually puts my cd images together (using PIK) and then syncs against cdimage. i don't simply sync against the whole site (including the test directories) because it's far too slow and if any mistakes happen, it could take weeks to recover from. regards, -jason -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
