I don't think this is true; all that is necessary is that the base system works. Anyhow, most of the boot-floppies todo has nothing to do with any stuff outside of boot-floppies itself. It's true that the CD system might be wonky without a system with self-consistency, in terms of dependancy systems and such. > In practice (as I have seen it) some portions of the frozen dist. are > "more frozen" than others but formally they are not. > > Would it be useful then to formalize a "system" of sequential freezing? I guess, but would that stretch out the process rather than shorten it? -- .....Adam Di [EMAIL PROTECTED]<URL:http://www.onShore.com/>
