Hi,
the INDEX in $INSTROOT/packages on 2.1.{5,6,7} lists
a bunch of software that doesn't really exist.
why is this?
where/how would one go about finding them?
TIAFI

Discussion?
It would be MUCH better (IMHO) to NOT list packages
that aren't on the install media.
I purchased the 2.1.0 cdrom and was pleased.
I bought the 2.1.5 cdrom and was very disappointed
by all the packages that were listed but missing.
I haven't ordered any more cd's because of this.
