Could someone please point me in the direction of Aussie mirrors of the sites like tsx-11, sunsite and ftp.funet.fi (or any other place to get the 2.0 kernel in a finite length of time)? Is there an easy way of finding mirrors? The only ways I can think of are: - reading the MIRRORS file (or similar) : works well when it exists and is fairly comprehensive. - posting plaintive cries for help like this post : works well (I hope), but requires effort from people who doubtless have better things to do. - trying a search engine to find links on people's home pages etc. : probably works eventually, but painfully. I mean, has someone compiled a mammoth page full of mirrors by location, or is there a fabulous newsgroup just brimming with FAQs that list hundreds of mirrors of every type? No, I s'pose not... The net wasn't meant to be easy... Sean.
