Seems fair enough to me.
The trouble is getting the size calculation to work properly.
A possible kludge would be for me to simply remove the images-1.20
directory from my mirror before making the images (assuming that the
mirror check routines won't spot that)
I think I'll do that, unless someone comes up with a reason not to
before my rsync from auric finishes
Cheers, Phil.
