That makes complete sence. Is 3/10 ancient times as far as SID is concerned ? I just want to work with the 2.4 kernel, some Xfree 4 stuff, and I know that there are SID level dependancies that I will need to meet for those. This is just temporary until my DSL comes....so I am d/l all of SID to have for the next week or so. Does that sound like a good apporach, or am I goin overboard. I just dont want to find myself in search of Packages without any internet to get them with.

Any CD is, therefore, out-of-date almost immediately after its creation. If you want CDs that "aren't" out-of-date get Potato discs. Of course, much of the software in Potato is out-of-date because development has continued. :-) -D -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
