I have just bought some CDR's and will be furiously downloading woody in a
few moments if I can find it. I ran dselect last night from potato to woody
and it wanted 209Mb's. Now that would have been fair enough if BT did not
feel the need to close my connection every two hours it would have been
finished this morning.
