I am willing to put your code up at my personal web site,
http://augart.com.   My hosting company has multiple independent
connections to the backbone.  Also, if we do it that way, then the only
people who have to download it are the ones who are interested; when we
post it to the list, then effectively everyone has to download it.

Further, if you've prepared any RPM packages with the new code, I'll be
glad to put those up as well.

What was the installation time on these servers before you knocked it
down to nine minutes?  That will help me evaluate whether it's worth
exploring this for use in the process here at Mazu Networks, where we
build our network security appliances.  For the next release, we'll be
using a custom boot CD that I make using a slightly modified version of
Anaconda.  (I'll post a pointer to the diffs and to a writeup on the
process of making it, once I've finished making it work on more hardware
platforms. -- we have several here at Mazu.)

I am glad that you wrote this.  Thanks for being a good citizen and
offering it back to the community.
