I know.. :-) I wasn't, of course.

In fact, I'd no intention of even putting a -current packages
collection up for the FTP SNAP (I've never made a practice of doing
this up to now, after all), and was doing it only for the CD because a
CD has all that space left over..

I think that trying to syncronize the SNAPs and the packages
collection is a bit insane, actually, and I'd be perfectly happy just
to copy the 2.1-RELEASE packages dir onto all of them and make sure
that a compat21 distribution gets put together.

I wouldn't waste the effort, to be honest.  I'm going to be doing this
too often for you to ever have a hope of keeping something as huge as
the packages collection in sync, so why set a precedent you won't be
able to keep?

You shouldn't. :-)

Believe me, if I thought that a -current version of the packages
collection to go along with each SNAP CD was a practical goal, I'd
have been talking to you a lot sooner than this!
