You won't have a cached version of the file in case you need it again? If you really don't want to have the file cached for some reason then unsetting the http_proxy environment variable before running apt-get will work and the file will not be cached. If you decide that having a local cache of debian packages is useful (for example if you have more than one computer to install them on) then using WWWOFFLE to cache the files is a good idea. -- Andrew. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew M.
