Last Question (I hope!)

Dennis

a million thanks - i just checked and sure enough dselect defaults to the
/stable directories - no doubt you are entirely correct !!!

surely many of the /stable packages are the same as the frozen dist and so
i do not wish to download yet again everything (8-10 hours MINIMUM).

are you aware of method by which i can ask dselect to remake the default
choices and only download new packages and upgrade existing - i assume this
would be substantially quicker ??

if i have downloaded, essentially, the bo distribution will autoup do this ???

thanks again for your help

Ivan.
