Even though the sources list are all the same, that doesn't tell us what
they are. Send them along. It also depends on if the one 'busy' box
has a lot more packages installed.
OTOH, I'm running Etch on three boxes. I just did a minimal install on
a 486 (surrogatly) and the only security update is the kernel.
My other i386 box that I installed fro CD1 has more stuff and I think it
has had more updates required.
My third box is an amd64 that I've been running since Etch was beta-3;
it has has _many_ updates.
Doug.
