Yes, that's what I am doing most of the time. Only when I'm too impatient to wait for fink scanpackages to terminate (about 1 minute on a fast machine), I'll copy the *.deb directly. While we are on this subject, I have a question: According to the docs, apt-get has a "ssh" method for package retrieval. IIUC, one should be able to put something like deb ssh://192.168.1.5:/sw/fink/dists unstable main crypto into /sw/etc/apt/sources.list and then apt-get update without ever mounting Appleshare volumes, or without even being on the same LAN. This would be very useful. I tried this in several variants, but it never worked for me. Has anyone ever got this to work? -- Martin _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
