Omniscient? My knoledge is maniacal based, then more fractured :-)

After that, I have to remove by hand, via ftp, the old images.
I do not know the amount of disk space at Sunsite I can use for muLinux,
but I can implement a different mechanism with save me a lot:
any new release uploaded in a new directory.
Example, the release 9r4 get:
9r4/mulinux-9r4.tgz
9r4/EXT,TCL, ....
In some case I, mantaining the same loader mulinux-version.tgz, wish
to change only addons. In this case, a solution should be to create
a directory called "alpha", with the new addons.
What you think?

You understand the point: Installer will be broken with this changes.
Finally, an old installer will be unable to download future addons.
I think the directory trick should be an acceptable solution.
