In answer to your question: I do not know. I know that the first CD is necessary for a base system, and the rest tend to have packages placed by popularity. So, the first three or four is a reasonably good guess. OTOH, I was trying to find a reference to the netless upgrade route for Debian, bu

A friend of mine has bought sarge on CDs from an online reseller relatively cheap. Unfortunatelly I cannot find him now and ask where did he get this from. He actually mentioned a price about $10-$15 with delivery which is almost incredible for 14 CDs. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTE
