It works under KDE as well, and is quicker to understand than aptitude. And it will show all packages from all available sources more easily. It won't clean up after your stuff as well as aptitude, but that's what deborphan's for. Be advised that libqt3-mt-dev install will rip out xorg. xlibmesa- something or other is incompatible. So you'll have to menuconfig or something to config a new kernel build for the moment. -- Regards, Dave -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
