All the OS development stuff is gone. I've lost interest in it. Try the OSdev wiki and discussion board for FAQs, tutorials, toy kernels, etc.
Commence links removal?

Maybe chase or someone would like to host some of the former content, and we can just update the links.
I'd do it, but at the moment my domain has no server behind it.

Of course not. Instead, turn them to a reliable mirror.
See this, it should be helpful:

i'm glad all that information isn't going to waste, i was genuinely upset when i realised he'd taken the content down.

Where will you be hosting it?

On jamesmolloy.co.uk. When I get around to harvesting the content - I'm
very busy at the moment, I've hardly even got time to code my own OS!

Since I had a bunch of time today, I looked through the group thread and archive.org and saw that it would be pretty feasible and straightforward to make a mirror.
What I've managed to recover can be found at
http://dev.ifeelrandom.com/~geezer/. Strange though, archive.org strips the last null byte of .zip files...I've fixed the files though, so the downloads should work.
If there's any missing content, feel free to notify me.
And JamesM, if you're still wanting to host a mirror, I can send you or anyone else a copy of the site.

Hi to all,
I have making a mirror of the site too. If you can send the files to me that you have, I can compare them with my files.
My e-mail address is maurojoel AT gmail DOT com
and the mirror what I am doing is in
http://geezer.osdevbrasil.net

If you're interested, I can make a mirror too:
(yourname).wz.cz - just with one ad and that's on your start page (I can bypass that,
).
FTP disk size: 200MB
e-mail interface through webmail (
[email protected]), 50 MB size
MySQL, 20 MB size
PHP (couldn't determine version of it, along with MySQL)
No traffic limitations (I think)
The 2nd domain can be: wz.cz, xf.cz, zaridi.to, borec.cz,... etc. it's the same service.
It isn't in English, so if you want a mirror, PM me and I'll provide it. Everything you need is just the .html files and data.
Regards
inflater

It'd be nice to provide a .tar.gz copy of the whole site at such mirrors I think.

Unless the copyright is given to us the content needs to stay separate from the wiki.
