I had some general questions about debian. Is their any fundamental reason why apt-get could not use rsync in addition to it's current method? This should be inherently faster.??
Creating iso image from jigdo-file. Assume I want to add in some additional packages onto my stable install cd. Just do thus: apt-get -d install packages. Then copy the deb files to my loopback mounted jigdo iso cd image. I could then install them with dpgk -i packagename. How hard is it to make it so apt-get when pointing to the cd as a repositry, can install the packages correctly? I was planning to recompile my kernel and include the 2.4.22-1-686 kernel on the stable install cd. The problem I am encountering is stable won't see the network card on new machines such as the e1000 card on some integrated motherboards. So I have to take the machine apart and stick in a old card, get the network working, then download a new kernel. I don't want testing,knoppix,redhat CD's. I want a 1 cd 1 boot installation solution. Do you think we are going to have some gpg checking of packages, as the default for apt-get anytime soon? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
