(non-free and contrib are not part of debian, maybe, but the installation procedure, when not using "edit sources.list by hand" ask if we wan't to use them or not, so I think anyone can set it up with the "by hand" install option!! "edit by hand" is for custom purpose so what to do if you have a custom debian repository with long path!!!). > > man nano > -w (--nowrap) > Disable wrapping of long lines. > > I don't think we have to patch the editor for that... Your right, we just need to run nano with -w from boot-floppies install. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
