Great job guys, keep it up.
When you change your dselect access method to ftp, the next step is to update the list of available packages. Dselect will get it from the ftp site. After that, the select packages screen will show any installed packages that have newer versions and the default action will be to upgrade them. When you choose the install option, the new packages will be downloaded and installed as replacements to the earlier versions. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Paul Wade Greenbush Technologies Corporation + + mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.greenbush.com/ + +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ + http://www.greenbush.com/cds.html Now shipping version 1.3.? + +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
