If you have for example the ORIGINAL CDs/DVD's of 3.1r4 I can build the package tree from there since I have all original packages I only do not know which packages went included in the releases... And yes, there is a problem with the signed release files, but since I can check my packages agains packages on <archive.debian.net> I am sure, I have the right an unaltered ones. And IF I recreate the packages.gz/Sources.gz, I sign it with MY key and you CAN trust it or not... And of course, you can pull down a couple of packages/files out of my several million (nearly 20 TByte or ninety SCSI 300 GByte drives) and check it against packages/files from <archive.debian.net>... :-) Thanks, Greetings and nice Day Michelle Konzack Systemadministrator 24V Electronic Engineer Tamay Dogan Network Debian GNU/Linux Consultant -- Linux-User #280138 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org/ ##################### Debian GNU/Linux Consultant ##################### Michelle Konzack Apt. 917 ICQ #328449886 +49/177/9351947 50, rue de Soultz MSN LinuxMichi +33/6/61925193 67100 Strasbourg/France IRC #Debian (irc.icq.com)
