Um, hell no. Source packages are; binaries aren't. But you don't have to download everything. Just download a netinst cd (about 200MB) and install the rest over the net. Make sure you save the debs in /var/cache/apt/archives so you don't have to download them again. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
