I'd leave it out since USC and apt-get are still there down the line in following versions. I would leave the apt-offline references and the chapter out since even though we did document it for R it won't be on the disc until S. We documented apt-offline during R so we could get it seeded in S and the new version has not introduced drastic changes to deal with in the documentation I wrote. Stephen Michael Kellat P.S. The apt-offline documentation is safe to backport to P even though it shouldn't be backported -- xubuntu-devel mailing list xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel
