	I put most of Slackware 3.0 from tsx-11 in the linux locker.

Great, thank you.

	We now have 2.2.0, 2.3.0, and 3.0.0 in /mit/linux/slackware.

That's too many versions.  I'll remove Slackware 2.2.0 from the
locker.  We'll never need more than two versions of Slackware in the
linux locker.  (For that matter, we'll never need more than one
version, but that's an other story.)  There's no reason to be
particularly careful about this, since if someone really needs to get
files from an old version of Slackware, it's archived in about a
million other places...  (How many of us have some old versions of
Slackware on CD roms?  :-)

	The volume is 91% full.  Should I gzip the old releases or something?

That wouldn't help much, since most of the files are gzipped all ready.

Have a nice day.
-Sal.
