I know that most of us here can, or have figured it out, but I still have a couple of questions. 1) What's the difference between a yum repo, an apt-get repo and a "dir" repo? 2) if any of these can be used, do we need to point to a different directory? My worry was finding the proper directory when I set-up my sources file, though I got it right first time. Perhaps if these were listed in the release notes as the repository right down to the dir with instructions to cut and paste into the sources file this would be easy enough? >snip> ---------- Scott
