I don't think I've ever had that happen. If I have a problem I usually switch to dselect. I just feel like I have more control. Synaptic on Redhat has a menu entry for the above... I've not used Debian since last year some time... I don't know what the differences between versions of Synaptic are. I am going to set up the AMD64 thing real soon... :} -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
