perhaps you want to have a look to dftp: Package: dftp Version: 3.1-2 Priority: optional Section: admin Maintainer: Roman Hodek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Depends: perl, dpkg (>= 1.4) Architecture: all Filename: dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/admin/dftp_3.1-2.deb Size: 22458 MD5sum: 5c1a9c8034d4f27cf21a56f44c96523c Description: Linux "Debian Distribution" Packages Maintainer The purpose of this program is to make it easy to keep your local installation of Linux consistent with the Debian distribution available on many FTP sites, NFS mounts, or CD-ROM. It does this by comparing the list of installed packages with those available by FTP or at a specified directory. A list of packages, categorized to make selection easier, is then presented to the user to choose what to install. All selected packages are then fetched if necessary (using FTP), verified for correctness, and then installed. . Dftp can also be run on a non-Debian machine in the case where the Debian machine does not have FTP access. For this, stand-alone versions of dftp, in both "csh" and "perl" source, are available under /debian/project/misc. installed-size: 84 Bye Christian -- Christian Leutloff, Aachen, Germany [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oche.de/~leutloff/ Debian GNU/Linux 1.3.1!
