IT WORKS!  I just tested it from a friend's cable modem.  Had to make an 
adjustment or two to my tracker, but it does indeed work.  It is the 
latest K12LTSP 5.0EL rsync as of last night.  There are currently two 
seeds--both of them mine.

This will save bandwidth on k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us (Eric's server), so 
please use the torrent if you can.
