Re: packages which are links to bo
I originally wanted to wait because it would increase the size of the archive. I just added up the sizes and it would cost 107 megs. It turns out that the entire archive is approaching 4 gigs (!!) so 107 megs is not that much. I'll convert them now so it will be easier for people to press CDs or just mirror hamm.

All the distributions are symlinked together at the start, and then as new packages are added to the newer distribution, the symlinks are replaced by the newer files. To avoid this problem, you need to either use mirror's "flags_recursive+L" option, or run a command to "flatten" the symlinks. -- Rob Browning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP fingerprint = E8 0E 0D 04 F5 21 A0 94 53 2B 97 F5 D6 4E 39 30 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

packages which are links to bo
I put a copy of the local debian mirror on a couple of CDs to install for a friend, and I had problems with the following packages, because they were links into bo, which I hadn't included on the CD.
