I have to temporarily remove dists/bo and dists/stable. The problem
is that dists/stable is a directory instead of a symlink, and
converting a directory to a symlink will break many ftp mirror

a while for all ftp sites to get t
I originally wanted to wait because it would increase the size of the
archive. I just added up the sizes and it would cost 107 megs. It

Is that correct? I ask because dinstall currently installs packages
into hamm and slink by installing it into the former and symlinking it
