Hello,

Why isn't there a central installation site for the "net setup" that
contains all necessary and/or elective files?  I've been to six "mirror"
sites and every one of them is giving me error messages that essential files
like binutils or gzip are not found.  Am I really expected to "shop" from
site to site, making a list of all the missing packages and checking them
off as I cruise around the mall picking them up from one site or another?

Maybe I'm wrong but I always thought "mirror" meant a complete copy of a
central site.  We don't seem to have even a single central site with all the
packages available.
