Well, OK, *IF* you are not willing to use the net to install some of your packages, then yes, you'll need the CDs. However, I confess I don't understand your view. Here's why: you apparently would be willing to download and burn all the CDs if there weren't so many (otherwise, why be unhappy with the number?); and you did just that with the 7 CDs making up Woody. You're unhappy because it'll take a long time to use the net to download all the ISOs for Sarge. But you *don't* want to use the net to download only the packages you want -- an approach that would take *much much much* less time (since you're not fetching things you're not interested in). You're upset about the time it would take to download all the ISOs; but you're not interested in an approach which would cause getting the packages you want to take a lot less time. I guess I don't understand that. -c -- Chris Metzler cmetzler@speakeasy.snip-me.net (remove "snip-me." to email) "As a child I understood how to give; I have forgotten this grace since I have become civilized." - Chief Luther Standing Bear
