Re: XFree86 3.2 is available

Regarding XFree 3.2, it will be in "unstable" before 1.2 is released. I guess it is appropriate to recommend that CD manufacturers include the 27 XFree82 3.2 packages from "unstable" on their CDs along with the 3.1 version that will be in the release.

I imagine that you can do this. During beta testing of 1.1, I copied the entire binary hierarchy to a DOS partiton. I mounted this partition and then ran dselect pointed at the appropriate binary directory. I don't think it matters if you use UMSDOS or any other mountable filesystem. You just n
