We allready have copies of Debian on CD-ROM, they come with a full
mirror of GNU as well (not that you need them very much) and also some
packages not available in the current "stable" version - notably pgp
(both US and International, they deleted it because of the stupid
export restrictions), kernel-package (which allows you to create a
kernel image packages from any kernel source with one command, part of
"unstable" or "experimental", don't remember) and sources of some
recent kernels (2.0.10, 2.0.21, 2.1 and 2.1.1, "buzz" proper comes
with 2.0.6 with 2.0.18 under "special kernels" as of last time I
checked).
One copy goes in Chen's direction this Friday (she's in Jerusalem), it
has Debian 1.1.10 on it, which should be good enough since you can
allways upgrade just the stuff you want over the net with an FTP under
dselect (or just plain old "ncftp...; dpkg -i ...") (this isn't just
theoretical talk, I do it all the time now over my 28.8 modem connected
to NetCrap^H^H^H^HVision).
Another copy, of Debian 1.1.11, now resides at Efrat Future
Technologies in Tel-Aviv (my workplace), it should be possible to
borrow it for others if needed.
As for other stuff - I've just got a negative answer from
TclTek about NFS-mounting their site, so we (me and Yigal,
who's actually doing the big majority of the work) will be a little
limited on printing other stuff due to limits on disk space (Ira? Can
you export your site in our direction?)
