First complaint I have is that it would be nice to be able to get a list of all needed files. I'm on a slow (26.4) connection with limited time. I just watched Xprog440.zip get downloaded taking about 20 minutes whereas I have already Xprog440.zip sitting in another directory and could of copied it to %REPOSITORY%/baseline in about 15 seconds.

That's good. Since you already know how the system works you may be able to suggest ways of improving things - I'm sure there is plenty of scope... > First complaint I have is that it would be nice to be able to get a > list of all needed files.

I guess you could get a file listsimply by running RSYNC with the correct parameters... This should do it:- rsync -av 213.152.37.92::build > I just watched Xprog440.zip get downloaded taking about 20 > minutes whereas I have already Xprog440.zip sitting in another > directory and could of copied it to %REPOSITORY%/baseline in about 15 > seconds. I guess the use of %REPOSITORY% needs to be emphasised as much as possible since most users of UX2BS are already likely to have a number of the files locally and this is an additional PITA for anyone on dialup. > Dave who will continue to report on how this install goes If you can think of any useful insctuctions, I could them include them in ux2_bootstrap.cmd... -- John _______________________________________________ UX2BS mailing list UX2BS at os2ports.com http://os2ports.com/mailman/listinfo/ux2bs
