Thanks Alexander,
Panther 10.3.9 and you're right about the old version. Commander
lists
many kde packages as binaries version 3.4.1-21 so I guess I would have
to fetch all of them seperately?
Nope--they're listed as binaries because you built them on your own
system--no fetching required.
I really want just the new kdepim3 to
see if it fixes the kontact, kmail and kaddressbook crashes.
So you are saying to: sudo apt-zip kdepim3-3.4.1-21?
then I would: apt-get install kdepim3-3.4.1-21?
Nope. If you make sure to "fink selfupdate", then "fink install
bundle-kde" (or bundle-kde-ssl if you've got that) should just use
your local binary archive files for everything but kdepim3--that will
be built from source.
Same machine, fast connection at the coffee shop, so I don't need to
copy them to a different box.
Thanks,
Brian
You won't even need a net connection after kdepim3 is downloaded (and
you may even still have the source around).

x.org and not xfree86?
Nothing wrong with that--in this case I didn't advocate it because
the
binary archives for xfree86 are already present
I have a question concerning binaries and Apt. How do I use apt to
download binaries with a fast connection and then later install them
into the proper directories?
I'd like to download the bundle-kde binary
For what OS? There isn't one for Tiger. Do you mean the old clunky
3.1.4 for Panther?
at my favorite coffee shop
and then install the packages at home. I know that fink fetch 'foo'
will
download the source files but I'd rather not go through the
agonizing
compilation process so hence the binaries.
Many thanks,

The apt-zip package is supposed to be able to do something like this.
Also, I believe you can just grab all of the .deb files from the
fast-connection machine that you want, and copy them over to
/sw/var/cache/apt/archives for the other machine--the elaborate
"by-section" directory structure that fink uses for builds isn't
really necessary for installation purposes.
