A New Zealand site which mirrors Debian and includes architectures other than i386 http://ftp.nz.debian.org (ftp.citylink.co.nz).

If you are interested in promoting Free Software the NZ Open Source Society will interest you.

A GRUB boot-floppy image grub_0.94. Don't worry about the small size, it is designed this way.

A GRUB USB drive image grub.97-usb.img. Reduced to a 500kb image. dd to a USB stick.

A GRUB CD iso image grub-94.iso.
These were produced for the GNU/Hurd, but usable for GNU/Linux.
