Fwd: Re: Install of predefined packages


My first post of this bounced for some, annoying reason.  ;-)


>I believe the thread I pointed you to has the solution
>for how to get your local mirror packages (whatever they
>might be) installed by default with setup (i.e. add them to

>might know otherwise and may chime in... looking at the source

>some command line options to the new setup but you'll need 
>to review the email archives for this list to find out what
