Well we already have a directory structure on the ftp site. The problem is it's confusing. Is wget in net (makes ftp connections) or web (makes www connections)? Is kernel-package in admin (helps the admin do something) or devel (compiles something) or misc? Is lilypond in sound (it typesets music and can output .midi files) or tex (it can output tex files)? Personally I tend to discard this structure and have *.deb all symlinked into an "all" directory on my local mirror and let the tab key sort them out. -- see shy jo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
