+ this is not a nice way since what you want is more control of the + packages going to be installed. please try to use the next method. + + install binaries according to a distribution package list + --------------------------------------------------------- + in that case binaries should be located in bin_dir or net_addr of your + hdw-get.conf file within the same directory structure as created by + scripts/Create-Binary. wget is needed if you want to fetch the binaries + via internet. please note that due to harddisk limitations binaries for + only one arch/optimization and hdw version can be offered via internet. + if you thnk this is bad and you could help out, please contact me!
