Hmmm, I wasn't aware of this. Couldn't debian fit the last release in total on the ftp site in a 'frozen' state for ftp users? I for one was happy with the 1.2 release 'out of the box' and would probably not have bothered upgrading until the next release if it had been possible extra packages from the original release. But maybe I'm in a minority of one here... Ed -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
