That will not help me since DVDs does not have non-free part My /etc/apt/sources.list has: deb cdrom:[Etch DVD 3]/ etch contrib main deb cdrom:[Etch DVD 2]/ etch contrib main deb cdrom:[Etch DVD 1]/ etch contrib main deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 r0 _Etch_ - Official i386 DVD Binary-1 20070407-11:40]/ etch contrib main # Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify: #deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib # Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify: #deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib And because I only have 33k modem internet connection I do not plan to add any online repository to that list. I would be willing to download single packages that I am interested in only if I could find URL to pass it to wget. > > Much of the GNU documentation is non-free, so it can't be distributed > > with Debian. > "non-free" in the case of documentation is licencing crap.

As far as I remember whole GNU movement started because one guy had some issues with non-free concept. Has he recently changed his mind and joined the other camp? :) More seriously: I really would like to know what 'exactly' is non-free with some GNU documentations, or in other words what you can not do with it that you can do with documentation included in debian? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
