I suggest that you download all the DVD:s and copy their contents to your hd instead of actually /installing/ everything from those DVD:s. That way you can predict how much space will be needed and you can alter your /etc/apt/sources.list file to use your DVD files from your hd instead of using the internet as a source for installing programs from. I tend to install only programs I actually use to minimize the risk of getting intruders due to security holes. - -- Regards, Thomas Anderson "Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum sonatur" OpenPGP fingerprint: ED7E 1E98 225A 3FCC 458C B3D7 D625 20E6 F316 BD21 OpenPGP public key: http://todu.dyndns.org/pubkey.txt -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGu8lE1iUg5vMWvSERAoRYAKDByJ9xPGX9AQIAcsBwUZUUKZNqRgCgpBQ1 aXQ9/8q01vyMRs9/3sudvq8= =wfOA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
