I have a machine with a local mirror but I can't say if I can give anybody access to it. My boss is out of town - I can ask him though. That machine would have a lot of disk space we could use for the discs. > Joey said we could use hydra-old (some Linuxtag machine) on which we'd > probably need a partial mirror for Debian-Knoppix anyway.

Do we want to maintain the pool structure there? I would say yes, since you could that as a starting point if you want your own mirror. But we should have symlinks from the section directories as well to not confuse old users. Opinions? cu Torsten
