[TriLUG] Question for ibiblio people

[John Reuning]

Here's the deal with the Mandrake mirror.  About a year ago, we set up a 
complete mirror of the mandrake distributions.  The mandrake folks have 
their data split into two directories or mount points (or something like 
that -- there are 2 rsync mount points, ftp1 & ftp2).  Their original 
request for mirroring had us putting the files into 2 directories 
corresponding to their setup.  A few months ago, we noticed that their 
mirrors web page reflected a different directory structure.  And finally a 
few days ago, we got a new config from them and changed our mirroring to match.

Anyway, sorry for breaking links.  Actually, I think the links on the 
mandrakesoft mirrors page to the ibiblio site were out of sync for a while, 
too.
