have apt use an rsync style tool ?

[Jean Charles]

wouldn't it be great if you could just download what has changed
on some package ? for exemple

the maintainer changes something in /etc/init.d/sendmail and you
have to download 1mo .
with rsync you would just download the part that changed ... 

well just an idea

initrd mounted, scripts executed.

initrd umounted, try to mount root fs.

root fs type not recognised by kernel and no module loaded. Last
fs tested was cramfs.

/dev/hda1 (03:01) fs not recognised so root fs can't be mounted.

There no ext2 nor ext3 modules on your initrd.img-2.4.22-pre3c0, are
those filesystems compiled in the kernel ?

That's not harden, that's obscurity and should be avoided in a free
distribution like Debian.

Admins can put this line themself if they want to.

Just having gnome-core recommand it should be enough.

I don't want to have to know which packages I have to install to have a
fonctionnal gnome desktop. So I want to install gnome and I want it to
install a gnome desktop.

During last upgrade network-manager does break things on my station (home
theater, gnome desktop, kids game station, kvm server, 2 net providers, 
vpn, dmz,  local lan, ... you don't want to know). It was working before
network-manager, it works now with
 echo exit > /etc/defaul/NetworkManager 

I need gnome and I need network. My network.

apt defaults to install all recommands, gnome works fine without 
network-manager-gnome, network-manager-gnome depends network-manager and 
network-manager breaks some unusual installations.

http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html :
Recommends
This declares a strong, but not absolute, dependency.
The Recommends field should list packages that would be found 
 together with this one in all but unusual installations.

This field has been done for network-manager-gnome !

Sincerly,
 Jean Charles Delépine

You might have a look to :

http://www.linux-france.org/article/appli/StarOffice/StarOffice_glibc_2.1.txt

It's a french text but you should understand the shell script :-)
(Anyway, I can try a translation if needed).
