I am not sure it that was your question.) great idea: and while you're at it you could add some really useful features apt-get lacks: apt-get (or dselect, which I usually use) handles dependencies really well, but not suggestions. Once I install a package I'd like to decide which suggestions should become dependencies to make sure they won't get uninstalled. You could change those suggestions of course. That feature becomes really useful if the uninstall procedure removes all dependencies and suggestions which are not needed any more. I think thre is already something like that, except that it only removes unneeded dependencies, not suggestions.
If that works, an option to hide all suggestions and dependencies would be great, because you would only see the things you selected for install. A typical install might even look like: base_system kde everything else is under those. base_system might include kernel... and kde: kmail, kgames.... -- Gregor Zeitlinger [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
