>Description:
	Update to the list of FTP mirror sites
>How-To-Repeat:
	N/A
>Fix:

	Patch provided for handbook/mirrors/chapter.sgml below.
	It looks like I'm going to be updating the mirror system related
	docs fairly often.  If it's appropriate would someone be interested
	in mentoring me to the point I can do the commits for this sort
	of thing myself?  The two people I work for (Jun Kuriyama and
	Peter Wemm) are a bit too busy for that sort of thing.  :-/

	Thanks.
