Use apt-move to do that. It is quite easy to use (and the version in woody is so much better than the version in potato) and it will construct a small, local Debian mirror from the contents of the debian packages that you have already fetched. Just update your system, slap a boot floppies directory there, burn that onto a CD-R and bingo: you have a brand spanking new snapshot of woody in your own hands. Quite easy and I've done myself this a lot of times (and also with a lot of goodies like adding a Ximian Gnome and KDE tree to a potato CD that I made to some friends). There is no mistery in that. Hope this helps, Roger... -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Rogério Brito - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.ime.usp.br/~rbrito/ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
