I'm wondering: Could you copy the 7 CD's onto a partition - and mount it as a regular directory, of course - and using some of the debian utilities - I've not done it, but I think it could be done, then create a debian repository of that partition? You'd list it as "deb file://<etc>" in your sources list. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
