I think the only thing I (and others) don't like about binary patches to the packages themselves _is_ the amount of mirroring. I'm of the opinion that if you don't want the system to change that much, then run stable. The only people I see benefiting from this a great deal is developers. Maybe this could be done as an project by a developer for developers, but I don't think it should be on the main ftp. -- ----- -- - -------- --------- ---- ------- ----- - - --- -------- Ben Collins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian GNU/Linux UnixGroup Admin - Jordan Systems Inc.
