Actually, I've gone back and estimated this based on what information I |
| 20 |
have from the release, and I came up with something more like 8G for |
| 21 |
2006.0, though we already have some things that are "lost" from that |
| 22 |
release. |

Anyway, I really am starting to like the DVD available via the store |
| 25 |
idea more and more, as it only means Release Engineering needs to do a |
| 26 |
little extra work, and it requires no extra work for our mirrors or |
| 27 |
Infrastructure team. |
