What do you suggest I should do if I want to install stuff later on? New
snapshot overwrites stuff on FTP about once in a week (i386). So about in
a week there are no more packages that have been build against the base
I'm running. I'd have to install newer base snapshot if the libraries
mismatch, wouldn't I?
I doubt it puts *that* much strain on any of the mirrors if I
fetch the tree once in a two months that I use for a handful of
installations. Other mirrors (official and unofficial) download
snapshots/* way more often.
