You might want to bring some loop back devices if you have any to
spare.  256 isn't enough anymore.  B-(

For the uninitiated - I loop back mount each iso so that people can
access the contents of them as well as download the complete iso
images, and I don't have to store everything twice.  The kernel has a
limit of 256 loop back devices.  I have more than 256 iso's now.  Time
to investigate alternate methods of allowing access to the iso contents.

Would Debian people be happy with an apt-proxy and jigdo, but no
iso's?  Can similar arrangements be made for other distros?
