Netscape is in stable (potato) and unstable (woody). Woody also includes kde 2 but potato does not. For potato I would suggest to mirror tdyc via rsync and burn a CD yourself. Here's what I use to mirror kde2 i386 debs: ds10(0) ~ > cat /root/bin/mirror-tdyc #!/bin/bash set -e root=/scratch/mirrors/tdyc/dists/potato cd "$root" exec rsync -v -v -az --delete --delete-excluded \ --exclude source/ \ --exclude incoming/ \ --exclude changes/ \ --exclude qt1apps/ \ --exclude binary-alpha/ \ --exclude binary-m68k/ \ --exclude binary-sparc/ \ --exclude binary-powerpc/ \ kde.tdyc.com::kde/dists/potato/ .
