Sometimes conversations move onto new topics as they are presented. I know I have found that true when I talk to people. I guess people are different where you are, or perhaps its just that you have constantly throughout the last several emails looked for any little thing to attack me on. Because of your hostile attitude I am refusing to respond further to you. I have tried to make it clear to you, you still want to attack, whatever. You make this sound like I dont like ipkg, that isnt the case, I dont like the packages that I get with it from familiar, the very thing I am trying to get away from. Why I posted on a debian list. I am really starting to think that you either dont speak english as a primary language and that is the problem, you are just looking for grounds to attack anyone who wants to defect away from the handhelds.org stuff, or there is some other, possibly medically related issue at work here. Whatever the case, I dont care. You arent helping in any way so I am ending this tangent. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com
