This is the Debian "alternatives" system. Since there are often many different programs that will perform the same basic task, Debian provides a configurable system for choosing a machine wide default for each. Have a look at the man page for "update-alternatives". Try for example: update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator This will give you a menu of all the editors on your system and let you change/chose the default one. Basically, the above command just changes the sym links pointing to and from /etc/alternatives. do an "ls /etc/alternatives" to see all the things that can be configured in this fashion. <more snipage> Cheers, Nick. -- Debian unstable/experimental Linux onefish 2.4.19-lavienx #1 Sat Sep 21 19:58:12 EST 2002 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
