Hmm, I think you're correct. It seems pretty bare bones but it will hopefully do the trick :) One question: If I have packages in /debian and I want to update to newer packages with dftp do I need to have the packages in /debian organised into the same heirarchy are they are on ftp.debian.org? Or can they all just be thrown into on big dir? Thanks, Adam. -------------------- Earthlight Communications Limited ------------------- P.O.
