But I use it with a not-hacked dpkg-ftp and it works. What I use: Debian dir: /pub/debian (or whatever directory has the bo and hamm dirs in it) Dists: stable non-free contrib dists/unstable/main dists/unstable/non-free dists/unstable/contrib Have you tried this one? Works for me (dpkg-ftp 1.4.9). Remco -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
