i remember some months ago there was talk of buying a new hard drive
for the nblug box, perhaps now is a good time to take up a collection.

all lines seem to busy, so i can't get to any of the mirrors, but the
product page at the mandrake store says the standard edition comes
with 3 cd's. so a max of 3 * 700MB = 2100MB = 2.1GB (roughly...).
