Description Ken Smith 2003-08-12 18:10:13 UTC 
	Update to the list of FTP mirror sites

Fix: Patch provided for handbook/mirrors/chapter.sgml below.
	It looks like I'm going to be updating the mirror system related
	docs fairly often.  If it's appropriate would someone be interested
	in mentoring me to the point I can do the commits for this sort
	of thing myself?  The two people I work for (Jun Kuriyama and
	Peter Wemm) are a bit too busy for that sort of thing.  :-/

	Thanks.
How-To-Repeat: 	N/A
Comment 1 Ken Smith 2003-08-13 21:38:49 UTC 
Sorry, a request to add one more mirror site in Switzerland came
in last night.  This is the adjusted patch.  Thanks.
