< Place the cdrom lines first. Why would you ever want to get anything over a < remote connection, if it was available locally? for a very small package, I have to find the CD, walk over to the CD machine, hope it is warmed up, do insmod, walk back to the computer, do the package installation, then remember to remove the CD. Instead, I wish to just wait till the next time I connect my modem. Perhaps the borderline is 1Mb. Above this I'd still rather use the CD. Ok, I suppose I must change the order each time. [BTW, mere changing the order does not register results, as I pointed out in another bug. One must add or remove sources to get the changes registered.] -- http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780
