My mistake: 700MB NOT 700GB. Nevertheless, I mean to take a look at |

your advice. |

One machine is ordinarily at school on a sporadically fast connection |
| 5 |
(but not during working hours, when it is slower than a dialup). One |
| 6 |
is a laptop, with the least HDD space. The other (now crashed) is at |
| 7 |
home. The firewall at work makes it very difficult or well nigh onto |
| 8 |
impossible to ssh into that box, and the box at home is only on line |
| 9 |
when I dial in. |

I want to set up a $DISTDIR. An external disk would work. When I have one. |
