Yes, Hamish's mirror looks pretty good. I've also had good results with
ftp.jimpick.com for non-us, but it doesn't support http downloads with
apt-get.
I've tried several kernels in the 2.1.110-2.1.125 range and couldn't get
ppp to work on any of them, so went back to 2.0.36. I figured out there
might have been something about my system that caused ppp not to work, but
now that I see someone else is having problems I'm not so sure.
I moved my modem to another machine on my lan running hamm (I'll probably
upgrade that one in a week or so) and am about ready to try the latest
kernel again(I just downloaded the 2.2.0-pre5 patch file) on my main
machine.
