I certainly wouldn't say the French is "disastrous", but it reads too much like a literal translation from the English version. I agree that it should be reworked. Maybe someone should notify the French translation team on Debian-french? Or are they reading this? Christian, whose translation skills are non-existant. pgped96DOEhYi.pgp Description: PGP signature

What do other think? Going a bit offtopic here. Is nonus.debian.org administrated by the same guy? I was wondering if we could get rsync installed on it so mirrors can switch to using rsync with it rather than using mirror. What about push mirroring too? :) Andrew -- Dehydration - 34%, Recollection of previous evening - 2%, embarrassment factor - 91%.

If mirrrors run into space problems they should be able to remove the less used parts of the archive. BTW Jason, /debian/home/treacy/web/lists contains the raw list mail. It could be moved to another disk (it's 545MB). The people in charge of the list archives should be contacted before moving it though. Jay Treacy

That was intentional - note that I mention that the URL refers to the private Corel site. Most of the ARM porters have got accounts on NetWinder.org (they are free). Unfortunately, Corel insists on hiding some of the good information from public view. Cheers, - Jim

I think they were emailled asking for more details (like what CDs they sell etc) but I got no reply. No reply means no web page. That doesn;t mean they're a bad company or anything, it just makes it too hard to work out what to put there. - Craig -- Craig Small VK2XLZ, PGP: AD 8D D8 63 6E BF C3 C7 47 41 B1 A2 1F 46 EC 90 |@work: [EMAIL PROTECTED],@play: [EMAIL PROTECTED]| |@home: [EMAIL PROTECTED], @debian:[EMAIL PROTECTED]| |@web: http://www.triode.net.au/~csmall @irc:seeS @icq:5723597|
