Hello List,
My /var/cache/apt/archives directory contains a lot of files I have gotten
from various sources, mainly the debian archives, security.debian.org,
debian-multimedia.org and a few others.
Is there a way I can create a cd or dvd with those files so apt-get /

Is this the recommended procedure -- the one less likely to provide

1. Install sarge on a new partition
2. Wait till etch become stable.
3. Do a blind upgrade.
4. Customize.
I need to re-install sarge because I have

"apt-cache search" looks for package names not for package
contents. You should try apt-file[1] instead:
$ apt-file --fixed-string search /u

That the slow down happens after a while suggests that its a temperature
thing.
I'll keep an eye on that and see...

It looks to me as though the printer installation (which I did through
the CUPS GUI interface) wasn't completed. What do I do next ?
Perhaps installing the package printconf, and then running the command
"printconf" (as root) will work.

I did achieve success by setting the root password to 888, and skipping
