it's supposed to favor local sources over remote sources unless the remote version of the package is newer. so if you installed a bunch of packages that were newer than what you had on the original disk (or the supplementary disk that you didn't even burn) it would load the new version of the package from over the network. up until you got the one package that was current on your installation media. _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list euglug@euglug.org http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
