You can get all the Debian packages on 7 cd's or 1 DVD. APT works with these, (apt-cdrom add). There may be some new gotta have app that isn't available from Debian, but Debin woody is 7 cd's of packages, or a 4.5g DVD. I believe that some of the cd vendors who offer Debian also do testing & unstable versions. -- Greg Madden -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
