Just so you know, aptitude's fullscreen interface can be heavily customized to your liking. You can decide what information should be shown on each line in the package list (name, version, size, priority, description, etc). I've currently got it set to display how many reverse dependencies each package has. This allows me to see at a glance which packages are actually needed and which packages are just leftover cruft. Sounds like you would find that useful... brian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
