-r--r--r--  1 ftp   ftp  70778880 Dec  7 16:12 sparccd.iso
-rw-r--r--  1 root  ftp  79896576 Dec 12 11:37 .in.i386cd.iso.

(The i386 image is obviously still transferring on this mirror).

Yes please.. otherwise to burn my own i386/sparc bootable CDs I will
have to fetch 1.4GB! of data, as opposed to the 150MB for just the
i386/sparc full install sets.
