Hi everybody, I only have dial-up so each update or application downloads comes *very* slowly and I really would hate to have to do it all over again. Also - I would love to have the possibility to install gNewSense 1.1 on another computer and just stick a CD in to add all the other applications previously downloaded.
Now, I know that my downloaded files are in /var/cache/apt/archives files. Also - Paul kindly sent me the DVD of the full gNewSense 1.1 sources (along with a gNewSense 1.1 and a gNewSense-KDE 1.1) ==>>which, by the way, I am would gladly snailmail to anyone needing them<<== So help me out here: which of the two should I use, the /var/cache/apt/archives archives which I could burn to a CD or the DVD of the sources and, even more importantly, *how* do I use them. I thought of mixing external and internal sources (with a CD with /var/cache/apt/archives burned to it) but Paul warned me that it is a very bad idea to mix sources. Is there any way to add either 1) the downloaded application after the first install of gNewSense or 2) how could I best use the gNewSense source archive DVD Paul sent me? Or is there no safe way to do this and is it the *only* option to 'apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade'? Many thanks for any help, Andrei _______________________________________________ gNewSense-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-users
