what's the lag on various debian mirror sites? % apt-get update % apt-get upgrade
% apt-setup /pick a different mirror/ i'd just switched from ftp-mirror.internap.com to ftp.digex.net if that matters...? % apt-get update % apt-get upgrade Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following packages will be upgraded bind-doc elvis-tiny ncurses-term task-dns-server tcpdump xfree86-common xlib6g 7 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 2718kB of archives. After unpacking 0B will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] so am i downloading old packages from a stale mirror? or did this mirror just now get some updates? or maybe different mirrors have different package subsets? hmm? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** http://www.dontUthink.com/ volunteer to document your experience for next week's newbies -- http://www.eGroups.com/messages/newbieDoc
