Not wanting to rush anyone, but wasn't there many responses to the call 
to send mirror info to mirrors at fedoralegacy.org ? I know I send our 
mirror info, which should work for both apt and yum.  But this sounds 
like it's going to be a while before the page goes up.  If people are 
busy, that's understandable, or was there some other problem?
