Is that a signature? A signature is something short you write down with a pen for identification purposes, basically equivalent to a short checksum in data processing. AFAICS what you use is a plain flat database, i.e. an URL list generated by apt. > * You carry the signature to a net connected box running anything > (Windows/Linux/Mac) And the system requirements on that net connected box are... what? That's an important detail, IMHO. Regards, Eduard. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
