Hi list members,
Bit new to Debian.
Up to now I only new and read of *.deb files only.
Now while trying to learn more about Debian I find a lot of *.udeb files on the
cd's.
On disc 1 there is 1038 .deb files & 145 .udeb files.
Kindly please what is the difference .. etc.
udeb is a transliteration of micro-deb (since u is the closest Roman
letter to the Greek mu). They are debs that are used in places like the
installer and do not necessarily meet all the policy requirements that a
normal deb would. Generally you will never need to mess with them
unless you are making/customizing a Debian installer.
