One stinkin' bleep or bloop in the process and the DVD is an expensive coaster. Plus, my overall mental health takes a serious double-gainer-back-flip into a bout of depression and carpet chewing. What I truly miss from the OLD DAYS was when package manager just asked that I insert the CD and it would install packages, long after the install took place. The option was to use ftp to grab anything else needed and everyone worked as smooth as a monkey's butt. Heck, I'd subscribe to update DVD's, if the service wasn't too pricey. Then I could go back to using the internet as a place to get information from. Sure, get security alerts off the net quickly, but all those megabytes of updates tying up bandwidth, for a lot of us on modems and creeping DSL is a pure headache. > -- > Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert > Fedora 8; Alpine 0.99999, Pan 0.132; Privoxy 3.0.6; > Dillo 0.8.6, Galeon 2.0.3, Epiphany 2.20, Opera 9.24, Firefox 2.0 > Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about.
