There used to be a ro NFS mount of WebPages from wherever they
actually are to /home/Archives/ftp/debian/WebPages. Then there
wasn't. Now there apparently is again!
Sue, did you change your mind about this? If not, contact Mike N. so

why didn't you upload shared Motif library version of jdk1.1-runtime?
I just wonder if there is any reason for that.

Hi:
Could you tell me what is the correct directory tree for making a Debian
distribution CD-ROM?.
I have the list of your FTP sites but i haven't seen a distribution CD so
i
don't know how it has to be laid out.
I would like to FTP your distribution and burn a CD but i'm not sure of
what exactly
I'm sorry this wasn't meant to go to the list.
The main point was that MemShared is counting the
amount of memory spared by the use of shared pages,
not the number of pages with a reference count greater
than 1 (which corresponds to the physical memory/swap
occupied by shared pages).
