emerge <PACKAGENAME> ... thats what could be easier :) I'll burn some knoppix cds, for testing. I will also bring a few superrescue cds, and old copy of debian 3.0, debian 2.2 (also old), redhat 9, mandrake 9, mandrake 8.1, slackware 8.1, qnx 6.2.1, and anything else anyone thinks we might need (let me know). I'll also try to be there at 3, maybe earlier (driving from lafayette) --mat On Sat, 2003-07-19 at 02:52, Karthik Poobalasubramanian wrote: > Yup I got the debmirror script from sourceforge. and its still=20 > downloading ;). > Now i know why people love debian package distribution.=20 >=20 > apt-get install apt-mirror=20 > could life be more simpler.

I was not interested= in Spark architecture and deleted all the arch2 stuff. The only problem w= ith it is that debmirror is in the unstable branch. It forced unstable upg= rades of Perl and lib6c!
