Lets put it this way... since cooker hit beta I've averaged about 450 mails a day on that list... topping out at 800 one day... do I read them all....no way in H### But I do read a lot of subjects. > > > Dunno on apt-get either.

Too much trouble to move the iso's around from location to location, for me at least. Plus since several of these are boxes I maintain so to speak are for friends, if I set them up this way it's much easier if I ever have to ssh in and do something.
