You could simply copy the .debs which you want from one of the mirrors, put them on a CD, take it home and copy the .debs off the CD into /var/cache/apt/archives on your PC and do the dist-upgrade. You don't have to get all the debs, just ones which you know are big. -- ....................paul Programming without a hex editor is like watchmaking without a hammer. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
