<p>... that's why I said "... and there are ways of keeping a <font

idea is to avoid large downloads wherever possible (emphasis new

<div>* Automation / easy adaptation. Providing an out-of-the

<p>Sure - an automated process is much easier to follow than a
manual do-it-yourself one, but the fact that a process is
automated doesn't mean that it has to be wasteful. Ultimately,
someone's paying for the bandwidth that downloads from each of the
mirrors at
