Contrib and non-free packages in Official CDs

2001-07-28 Thread Michele Dalla Silvestra
A little question. I use Debian (and as little as I can) I support its use mostly because it use only Free Software (free in terms as freedom). Is possible to move the "contrib" section in the latest CD and remove the "empty" directory non-free from the CDs? I've looked the 1st CD from ftp.fsn.h

Why the non-free packages are in ALL cd?

2001-09-07 Thread Michele Dalla Silvestra
I'm downloading the woody iso from ftp.fsn.hu, but I've seen that there are non-free packages in all cdroms. Why this? I'm using and promoting Debian because it haven't software non-free and I can better control the license of installed software. ciao Michele -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EM

Waste space in woody-i386-1

2001-09-12 Thread Michele Dalla Silvestra
I have found that in the iso woody-i386-1, disks-i386 contain two times the boot-floppies, one in the correct directory (3.0.13..) and another copy in directory "current", instead of a symlink. These files are hard-links or we can save 90MB in the first CD? ciao Michele -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, e
