RE: No ftp? Have I missed something?
In reply to the honourable 'maor@ece.utexas.edu' who said:

i follow the discussions constantly between redhat, slackware and debian
distributions and have not heard one person comment on debian being too large.
downloading six megabytes doesnt take that long B)

ftp is essential if dpkg-ftp or dselect didnt work properly (which it didnt) or is
unfamiliar with it, at least it gives the person installing a familiar tool.
the last disk in the debian 1.2 set is approximately 350k so there is room on there
for ftp surely, maybe we can have a v1.21 that remedies this.
perhaps i imagined it but a previous installation of debian 0.93 ? had ftp in it and
its a shame it was taken out imho.
cheers
