Re: Woody psudo-fresh install
I was not careful reading John's message. His download should be the
same as mine if his first dselect run is performed after modifying
sources (He does not mention it.) If you are not careful, you may
install standard potato package, though.
Side note: I run install machine behind masq/firewall with fixed IP. All
network protocols are http.
With my approach, less FD used. With John's method, you save bandwidth
if you do it 2nd time.
