Here, I will upload the transcripts I read from (after writing them). I
will also make available an ogg stream in due course, when I have time
to spend scripting the creation - it's very manual still now.

There were about 6,000 downloads last week, so I'll keep it going for
the moment. I don't know if it'll be every day - but it will for the
moment - it might end up being "every few days", and summarizing all
threads that happen in-between. If you're interested in helping out,
please let me know, we might be able to make this a collaborative
script-writing exercise via the kernelnewbies website :)

Jon.
