I agree. However, it is a little bit ugly to see the poor apt trying to get the Packages file and having to press ^C to stop this. Note: New users don't even know that ^C will help there. I have no idea how to solve this glitch other than documenting it in the sarge installation manual. Cheers, -- W.
