It would take ages.) Yes, the dependencies are what makes up the pkgorder file. But the order in which packages get installed is solely based on dependencies and where there are no relevant dependencies the order is alphaphetical if memory serves, the pkgorder-stuff is only relevant to making iso-images. If you don't do that it'll still install correctly if the dependecies are correct, you'll just end up changing CD's after every other package. - Panu -
