You have not understood...

I mean, all pics are in the same location, but can easyly installed
using apt and friends  and noone must download the whole tarballs.

Even Modem or ISDN-Users would like to see screenshots of some
packages/programs and huge tarballs are no sulution.

I have allready tried to install 16.000 Debian Packages at once...

I have sucked from winamp.com all Skins and packed them up seperatly. ;-)

Sorry, currently I have no appartement and my server is down...
