Yeah .. that's the sort of thing I was thinking of.  It looks like the
ATI drivers are RPM only, which I thought was a bit nasty.  That was
only at first glance - I'll have a better look later on today.

Yep - I'm setting all that up now. :)

As far as files available from my PC go, all I have so far is Debian,
SuSE (if it's required), a kernel.org mirror and a few of my favourite
open-source games.

I'll have a trawl through my other hard drives and see if I can find
anything else that might be worth putting on there. :)

Cheers
