	I downloaded several huge .iso's this morning, SDK and SLED extras. 
Then I went looking for vsftpd. I did not see the source RPM, but as I 
commented I might have missed it or it is on yet another huge .iso which 
I did not download.
	Let me see, what is in my SLES/D 11 SP3 collection at the moment:
SLE-11-SP3-SDK DVD1 and DVD2    3GB,7.7GB
SLED-11-SP3 Media1 and Media2   4.5GB,8.9GB
SLES-11-SP3 DVD1		3.3GB
Plus HA material.  That's about 28GB plus HA.

	SLED is still a Linux box. It talks to other people, and other people 
are known to be willing to talk back. Owners of such devices are also 
known to use other machines from time to time and wish to put things on 
their SLED box. As the kitchen sink is also present then maybe small 
vsftpd could sneak in for those who need it.
	Thanks,
