RE: SID out of Date ??
That makes complete sence. Is 3/10 ancient times as far as SID is concerned
? I just want to work with the 2.4 kernel, some Xfree 4 stuff, and I know
that there are SID level dependancies that I will need to meet for those.
This is just temporary until my DSL comes....so I am d/l all of SID to have
for the next week or so. Does that sound like a good apporach, or am I goin
overboard. I just dont want to find myself in search of Packages without any
internet to get them with.

They'll be as out-of-date as the date on them. Sid changes constantly
as developers upload new packages. Any CD is, therefore, out-of-date
almost immediately after its creation. If you want CDs that "aren't"
out-of-date get Potato discs. Of course, much of the software in
Potato is out-of-date because development has continued. :-)
