Thanks Garry

Please CC me in. I remember you said it was small. If I get a femtosecond I'll
grab a bit of debian to some spare space a couple of times to see if it
rewrites. That was my only thought about the advantages of rsync. But as you
rightly pointed out, you need access to an rsync mirror (ftp.it.net.au .. unless
they get a bit cross about the rsync fiends :-)  

Praps Mike if you setup debmirror you could give us a heads up on the list ?

All the best
Harry
