[wellylug] dreadhat mon.

[Cliff Pratt]

Give him one for me too. For installing the Dead Rat.

up2date is acceptable, I guess and can be used to install 
noo packages as well as old outdated rubbish.

I fink that putting all the RPMs on the disk somewhere is a 
real bad idea. What a waste of disk real estate!

Cheers,

Cliff
