Keith, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that number of fonts is enough to make the performance decrease substantially without the cache. > it's true that the files are used only by one application though; > don't know if this is going to change once g-i will use cdebconf > plugins.

None of them are necessary for the installation. Regards, -- .''`. Josselin Mouette /\./\ : :' : [EMAIL PROTECTED] `. `' [EMAIL PROTECTED] `- Debian GNU/Linux -- The power of freedom
