I asked ftpadmin@kernel.org for space. I had a talk with our dorm admins
and they told me they wouldn't like a horde of people downloading 100MB out
of our network ;) so could you please suggest a few other sites where I
could ask for space?
btw, I forgot almost, this distro is in German - they've even
internationalized all kernel messages. But that shouldn't be too much of a
problem :)
