Galen,

Thanks. wget is chomping away at downloading the current contents. Once
there's a seed future checks (via a cron job) will look for only patches
(upgraded packages) and use rsync to download and upgrade them. So this is a
one-time action.

As an aside, if I were to use the above URL I'd clone all slackware
distributions (32- and 64-bit) from 8.0 through -current. I need only the
14.2/x86_64 directory tree.

Regards,

Rich
