A few quick questions: Am I correct in my understanding that potato is a snapshot of the current state of development for the next stable release? Is there a place to get a current snapshot of potato on CD (pref. cheap)? Does PADS have a mailing list, and if so, how do I sign up? (I checked the PADS page at Chris' website, but I couldn't find anything.) I've become exceedingly weary of Slackware. I've installed the base system for Debian potato, but the 'man' command is missing. I've downloaded *all* the docs (took quite a while). Is it in there? Where can I find info about minimal installs (of any distribution) so that I have a halfway functional system in <400megs? (I have a 2 gig disk right now, with ~1.4 gigs FAT32, 400 megs ext2, 64 megs swap, and no money for the time being to get a better disk. BTW, if anyone's interested, Micro Center in St Davids has a 27 gig IDE disk for ~$240, but it only spins at 5400 rpm.) Note that I have a 56K winmodem, so apt-get isn't possible for me (yet). (I'll get a real modem or possibly cable once I have extra cash.) An observation: The next meeting, on December 1st, is the same night that UPN is running an hour-long Star Trek special (33 years of Star Trek or something like that). Hope we don't have the problem PADS did in May when the new Star Wars movie opened. :) Bill _______________________________________________ Plug maillist - Plug@lists.nothinbut.net http://lists.nothinbut.net/mail/listinfo/plug
