I've seen the question asked, but I don't recall a good answer. Does anyone have a reliable script that will take a package set (as from the original CD collection) and merge in an updates tree, removing old versions of packages? If not, I'm going to write one, and if I do that it will be in Perl. -- Cheers John Summerfield Microsoft's most solid OS: http://www.geocities.com/rcwoolley/ Note: mail delivered to me is deemed to be intended for me, for my disposition.
