The latest Debian release, Potato r3.0, is 8 CD's. I was going to make ISO's using Jigdo over the weekend until I relaized this. I didn't have enough drive space to assemble all 8 ISO's, so I'm doing them one a day. > Personally, I beginning to think it's far easier to just install a > base OS (similar to what you get with commercial UNIXes), then do > something like apt-get or rpm-up2date to install new, non-OS stuff. This is what I have been doing for quite some time. I have one Debian CD that I use to do a bare minimum install. Then I have an options file on a floppy that I created using `dpkg --get-selections`. When the selections are loaded on the new system (using dpkg --put-selections), I do an apt-get and go home for the night ;-) I haven't used RH since 6.2, so I don't know if there is a way to do the same automation with rpm. Is rpm-get functional yet? C-Ya, Kenny -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Tact is just *not* saying true stuff" -- Cordelia Chase Kenneth E.
