Thanks for these packages,

I have been looking over the debian-cd system, and it appears that
bootable CDs may have been broken due to a change from mkhybrid to
mkisofs. I would like to attempt to take care of these issues as well
as make sure we get bootable CDs for woody.
The problem is my internet connection
Well, I have /var on my / partition, because I started out small. I
symlinked the directory where the .debs go when they download (when
using apt-get) to my /home partition because / didn't have enough space

Ethan,
I'd be happy to create CD Images, burn them, and proceed to
try to destroy my Cube.
Do you have a suggestion for an rsync mirror that you'd prefer?
I'll start today.

LOL! Sure, why not...It may be Sunday before I do...I just need to
figure out how to partition everything again...I'll have roughly 4 GB to
play with. Got any recommendations?
And, could you point me to the latest bf docs, or anything else new that
I'd need to know about woody?
Thanks!

heh, well all you have to do for these purposes is see if the first CD
boots or not, and mount them and make sure

I think I've read the partition howto, I just hate making the decisions

Okay. This is something I can make dexconf do, but I have a few questions.

On the Lombard, the ADB devices are apparently reprobed and reset before

Ethan, I need to reinstall the iMac anyway -- probably won't get to it
until this weekend, but perhaps sooner.
If you need copies of CD's burnt for you, just let me know -- I'll need
to talk to you in private mail about where to send them, etc... but I'd
bet you'd catch things wrong with them
Here is the lasest output of apt-get update apt-get upgrade. It seems
to be complaining about a Perl script, and will not go through with the
upgrade. This seems serious; how can I fix this? I have tried running
apt-get --reinstall on perl, perl-base and dpkg with no luck.
