I'm planning to install debian on my machine at home. Since potato is not finished yet I thought that I'd install slink (2.1-r4 there are two iso-images from December 1999 available).
But I need to have an up to date version of at least Ada (gnat), Gtk+, GtkAda and vim packages and preferably more. So I thought, can I install slink and then download say the frozen potato distribution and put it on a couple of CDs and then somehow update all the packages needed? (Is it also possible to use the joliet file-format extension as the machine I will have to download the files to is an Windows NT) I saw something in a debian book I have (the title has slipped my mind, but it is the New Rider book), that one should put a Packages.cd file on the cds, but what should that look like? I have looked on the debian pages, but I haven't found any info on this. It looks like it is easy to update when using apt-get over the Internet, but my machine does not have any net connected so I need to transport all the files on CDs. So any links to relevant info is much appreciated. -- Preben Randhol -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- <http://www.pvv.org/~randhol/> "Det eneste trygge stedet i verden er inne i en fortelling." -- Athol Fugard
