Idea to prevent those long package listing downloads with apt-get (maybe this should be on debian-devel...)

1999-11-14 Thread Russell G. Howe
Maybe I should have posted to debian-devel, but I'm not subscribed and I get enough mail as it is. I had this idea when I was sitting there watching 768K of package listing for unstable trickle down my flaky, slow modem connection at about 1K/sec, paying my 1 pence per minute to British Telecom
