Sorry, I was misguided by your earlier message at
	http://boudicca.tux.org/hypermail/linux-kernel/2000week30/0114.html
where you wrote
"Patch web page is http://www.asplinux.com.sg/install/ubpatch.html"

They are the same sites [mirrors in .us, .sg, .kr and .ru].

I've also tried two other ftp sites, none of them were available, just
as at present ...

Thanks for the info, user beancounter is definitely needed but it's
a 2.5 issue and people have problems now. Ironically it seems disks
soon will be as fast as RAM, many thinks max swap space supported is
still 128 MB and they set up systems according to this, app
requirements (multimedia, etc) grows eagerly and users run out of
much easier then earlier. For many the quota isn't a solution because
of performance or other reasons and Linux doesn't give them any chance
to survive such a situation.
