No. Nowadays, you should really use APT. (and, as far as i can remember, dselect's cdrom method does not maintain a cache of what's on your CDs) mw: do you have internet connection on the machine you want to install the packages to? if yes: no need to download them to CD first - use 'apt-get install' instead. cheers, Stefan. > > >Thanks in advance, > >mw. > > Michelle -- Did you know that if you play a Windows 2000 cd backwards, you will hear the voice of Satan? That's nothing! If you play it forward, it'll install Windows 2000. __________________________________________________________________________ Stefan Janecek Institute of Semiconductor & Solid State Physics Universtity of Linz/Austria -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
