ftp://lix.polytechnique.fr/pub/Linux/debian/sparc/exp/disks-sparc/current/

A propos:

Could a link to Eric's ftp site be added to
http://www.debian.org/ports/sparc/?

And could ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/main/disks-sparc
be made to point at /debian/dists/frozen/main/disks-sparc instead of at
something much older?

I had the same problem. My work-around is described here:

http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-sparc-9902/msg00123.html

But it would be more useful to test Eric's new discs, I think. I'm
downloading them myself for that purpose ...
