Actually, you could use MSwin to download raw debs that you want into a section of your MSwin space, mount them under linux as type vfat, and use a file: URL in /etc/apt/sources.list What I'm not quite clear on is how it gathers its package info, but I'm sure someone else here will comment on that. As a side thought, is anyone cutting potato CDs? If not, I see a market for it. Debian Under Construction. Make the djinni bottle yellow with the black diamond on it. Or something. -* Heather Stern * Starshine Technical Services * [EMAIL PROTECTED] *-
