Well, I'm running unstable too, without problems. So "Thus, nothing works" sounds a bit strange to me. We'd be interested to know what doesn't work, and why! But, to help your friend, you might do something like dpkg -i --selected-only --recursive $frozen-mirror with $frozen-mirror the place where you mirror (or mounted) a image of frozen. (I never tested this, only learned it from dpkg -h). -- joost witteveen, [EMAIL PROTECTED] #!/usr/bin/perl -sp0777i<X+d*lMLa^*lN%0]dsXx++lMlN/dsM0<j]dsj $/=unpack('H*',$_);$_=`echo 16dio\U$k"SK$/SM$n\EsN0p[lN*1 lK[d2%Sa2/d0$^Ixp"|dc`;s/\W//g;$_=pack('H*',/((..)*)$/) #what's this? see http://www.dcs.ex.ac.uk/~aba/rsa/ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
