setup-procedure: "find" from homepage gives no category for a package

2008-05-23 Thread Gahr, Wolfgang
A question concerning the setup-procedure. It is difficult to find the category for a given package. I give an example: If you are looking for the package "rsync", you can use "find" on the Homepage. But the resulting list shows no hint about the category for the setup, so you have to search m

cd not following windows shortcuts

2008-05-23 Thread Gustavo Seabra
