Nope. We have 15 more CDs just for source packages: http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/3.1_r2/source/iso-cd/ As mentioned before - download only the first CD to install (or use net install). The rest you could get from the net (as you don't use all the contents of these CDs). -- Lior Kaplan [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.Guides.co.il ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
