Re: Diety UI draft



(Hi!  I'm new to the Project.  After lurking here a few months, I joined
 so that I could take over 'mpack' from Robert Leslie.  I hope my first

I think that this may itself be a problem.  I have found that the Packages
file is my main use of bandwidth when I access my local Debian mirror.
During a regular scan for updates, simply checking the packages available
from all sources may be more costly than the total size of the packages
actually chosen for installation.
