In Slink, I use this setup for /etc/kbd/config:

I thought it be a good idea to share the apt-get cache dir between my

Hi!
Since the official cd images only contain the 'main' archive, I would like
to create a similar cd, useable by dselect/apt, for the contrib, non-free
and non-us parts of Debian, since the machine that Debian is to be installed
on does not have a network connection.
How do I go about to do this

How can I get apt-get to explain *why* it wants to remove a package?

installed, especially since it is not in the main distribution, and does not
depend on any package from it. I would like apt-get to explain to me
somehow
I noticed that netdate has been removed from potato. What should I use
instead?
