Not until bo becomes stable. I know this setup is nonideal for people who only mirror unstable, but most do mirror the whole distribution. It's rude to have hundreds of megs of duplicate files. bo has ~100 meg of unique files right now, most of which is XFree 3.2. Can you suggest a better solution? > When the change occured, my mirror of "unstable" lost a bunch of files. > Now I have to get both rex and bo.

Otherwise you'll have to filter out the symlinked directories. Guy -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
