I presume you mean that these are potato packages you have downloaded since an initial install of slink. What would the best & easiest way of making such a partial mirror or all packages in potato that are different from slink? With such a mirror, I could install what I want using my official slink CD set, then update to my current state with the partial mirror. This would be really, really handy in case my system buggers up (or I bugger it up). When apt-get downloads packages, it puts them in /var/archive/apt/cache --------------------------- Wim Kerkhoff [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.canadianhomes.net/wim ICQ: 23284586
