Which is partly wrong. Debian has non-free autobuilders but there is a very smal white-list of package it auto builds. Non-free packages can have restrictions making autobuilding and distribution of the result illegal so only packages known to be free of such are white-listed. There are obviously a lot of packages missing in that list where just nobody has taken the time to check the licens. If you find such a package please ask the maintainer to double check and report to Andreas Barth to include it. > It appears that you could build it yourself; > > apt-get install build-essential > apt-get build-dep chntpw > apt-get source chntpw > cd chntpw-... > dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b apt-get install build-essential apt-get build-dep chntpw apt-get -b source chntpw MfG Goswin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
