Hmmm. Back when I used dselect, I know that it asked if downloaded .deb files were to be deleted. I've used aptitude for a couple of years and I know that there is a menu selection for cleaning the package cache. I don't use apt-get from the commandline, so I had to look up the clean option as well. - Nate >> -- Wireless | Amateur Radio Station N0NB | Successfully Microsoft Amateur radio exams; ham radio; Linux info @ | free since January 1998. http://www.qsl.net/n0nb/ | "Debian, the choice of My Kawasaki KZ-650 SR @ | a GNU generation!" http://www.networksplus.net/n0nb/ | http://www.debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
