Doh.
That'd me being an idiot, and replying too fast, hamm is frozen, bo is
stable.
But, the force of my point remains. Use the names 'stable', 'frozen' and
'unstable', not the debian nick-names...
Anyway, I can see plenty of stuff on ftp.debian.org. I'm guessing you
went and looked during a mirror update - I believe the mirror software may
delete everything before copying in from the master site. Someone correct
me if I'm way out on that...
