I will be looking for vendors here in Italy. Meanwhile, I solved the problem the following way: My /etc/apt/sources.list was the following: ------------------------------------------ #deb file:///cdrom/ sarge main deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 r0a _Sarge_ - Official i386 Binary-2 (20050607)]/ unstable contrib main deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 r0a _Sarge_ - Official i386 Binary-1 (20050607)]/ unstable contrib main # deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib ------------------------------------------ . I added to sources.list the following two lines: deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free , then connected to internet and did: # apt-get update . I disconnected, and did: # apt-get build-dep emacs21 , and got the following output: Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Note, selecting libtiff4-dev instead of libtiff-dev The following NEW packages will be installed: autotools-dev build-essential dpatch libice-dev libjpeg62-dev liblockfile-dev libncurses5-dev libpng12-dev libpng3-dev libsm-dev libtiff4-dev libtiffxx0 libungif4-dev libungif4g libx11-dev libxaw7-dev libxext-dev libxi-dev libxmu-dev libxmuu-dev libxp-dev libxpm-dev libxrandr-dev libxrender-dev libxt-dev libxtrap-dev libxtst-dev libxv-dev pm-dev render-dev x-dev xaw3dg xaw3dg-dev xlibs-dev xlibs-static-dev zlib1g-dev The following packages will be upgraded: libice6 libsm6 libx11-6 libxaw7 libxext6 libxi6 libxmu6 libxmuu1 libxp6 libxpm4 libxrandr2 libxt6 libxtrap6 libxtst6 libxv1 zlib1g 16 upgraded, 36 newly installed, 0 to remove and 83 not upgraded. Need to get 10.3MB/12.7MB of archives. After unpacking 26.6MB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] . I said 'no' and then installed the packages Debian wanted to install, *without* the upgradings. Then I installed emacs cvs fine, just as I wanted, using *nothing* else but my two DVDs. Do you think it is a good solution? Cheers, Rodolfo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
