No, because you download only via http or ftp. > If you don't want a copy of the respective package in the current > directory, just don't call "aptitude download <package>". This is false, because a local file can not downloaded, because it is already there. The same thing is with installation from CD. Local files can only be copied but not downloaded. I think, you have a false understanding between "downloading" and "copying". > BTW: The behaviour of "aptitude install <package>" etc. doesn't need to > change, of course. :-) > Thanks for considering. > > bye, > Roland Greetings Michelle -- Linux-User #280138 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org/ Michelle Konzack Apt. 917 ICQ #328449886 50, rue de Soultz MSM LinuxMichi 0033/3/88452356 67100 Strasbourg/France IRC #Debian (irc.icq.com)
