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.
