Hi John, We automatically generate lists of the packages in each CD/DVD image. See (for example) http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/release/5.0.0/i386/list-cd/ Each list.gz file is a gzip-compressed list of the .debs contained in the corresponding .iso image in ../iso-cd/. Or you can search for specific packages at http://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/#search I hope that's useful to you. >PS: I could use some help setting up my wireless network connections in >Gnome, as the initial installation was unable to detect my network. I'd suggest that you ask about that on the debian-user mailing list. Not my area of expertise... :-) -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. [email protected] You raise the blade, you make the change...
