i follow the discussions constantly between redhat, slackware and debian distributions and have not heard one person comment on debian being too large. downloading six megabytes doesnt take that long B) > What is on the base disks is dpkg-ftp (it uses perl's Net::FTP, not ftp is essential if dpkg-ftp or dselect didnt work properly (which it didnt) or is unfamiliar with it, at least it gives the person installing a familiar tool. the last disk in the debian 1.2 set is approximately 350k so there is room on there for ftp surely, maybe we can have a v1.21 that remedies this. perhaps i imagined it but a previous installation of debian 0.93 ? had ftp in it and its a shame it was taken out imho. cheers +------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | _/_/ _/_/ _/_/_/_/_/_/ _/_/_/_/_/_/ | | _/_/ _/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/ | | _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/_/ | | _/_/_/_/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/ | | _/_/ _/_/ _/_/_/_/_/_/ _/_/_/_/_/_/ | | | | | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Software Engineering in C++ and SQL | +------------------------------------------------------------+ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
