Yes, you are right, these have been and are broken, at least some of them. But the question was about full SID images. I personally have some non-internetworked machines which are upgraded through these broken sid images from ftp.fsn.hu and this is the only way to bring the new packages to these machines... The only problem I can see with ftp.fsn.hu images is the "too big template/jigdo file" for some of them which renders them as unusable, the rest is ok imho. Is it possible to generate and support full SID jigdo/template files at cdimage.debian.org or there are space/bandwidth/cpu power problems around that? -- pub 4096R/0E4BD0AB 2003-03-18 <keyserver.bu.edu ; pgp.mit.edu> fingerprint 1AE7 7C66 0A26 5BFF DF22 5D55 1C57 0C89 0E4B D0AB -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
