Depends on the package. In your case I think it doesn't make a difference, you probably only need the pv binary anyway. Looking at <http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?searchmode=filelist&word=pv&version=unstable&arch=i386> it seems that the package only contains the binary, documentation and i18n files, and the package only depends on libc6, so very likely the binary can be run directly from floppy. best regards Andreas Janssen -- Andreas Janssen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP-Key-ID: 0xDC801674 ICQ #17079270 Registered Linux User #267976 http://www.andreas-janssen.de/debian-tipps.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
