ibiblio.org is linuxdoc's main d/l site as well as gentoo's. |

I can do it two-three times a month, it's no big deal. As long as we decide |
| 23 |
we don't have to always provide the latest version. |
| 24 |
If that's what we've decided, OK. I'll d/l the latest tomorrow morning, make |
| 25 |
a checksum and tell achim to copy it to the gentoo dir at ibiblio.org from |
| 26 |
the linuxdoc dir - that's probably fastest. |
