[debian-user] Debian Repository Usage

2008-01-08 Thread Ted Hilts - Thunderbird Acct.
I obtained the full set of Ubuntu disks, installed the desktop stuff and now have a working system without SERVERS. It seems the servers come on another disk separate from the LIVE/INSTALL desktop software. The server CD is an INSTALL only and not a LIVE CD. This means I would have to over w

[debian-user] Dumped off the list

2008-01-08 Thread Ted Hilts - Thunderbird Acct.
