cvsup of FreeBSD is much like Debian's apt-get. you can either get the source or the .deb package to install. your friend doesn't need to get the whole shebang just to install debian. one only needs 5 diskettes and the base install file and just apt-get the rest. that way one can install only the files one needs. hth. -- +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+--+-+-+-+-+-+ Key fingerprint = 9DE1 5825 77B4 FF45 7485 D3EB DCCF DE48 09B6 4426 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+--+-+-+-+-+-+ Who's watching the watchmen?
