i am not a debian user, so i don't actually know what i'm saying here. but if you had two computers (one already an FTP or HTTP server, even if it's some windows box with IIS) or even if you could install a minimal setup with dselect and then become your own FTP server, could you use apt-get and download from yourself? :). of course, that assumes you have enough disk space for all your debian CDs. just wondering. one of these days i'll get around to learning The Debian Way. tiger -- Gerald Timothy Quimpo gquimpo*hotmail.com tiger*sni*ph http://bopolissimus.sni.ph Public Key: "gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 672F4C78" There is no patch for stupidity. http://www.sqlsecurity.com/main.asp -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
