apt-get is in the apt package, in slink. You shouldn't have any problems just downloading and installing the package via dpkg. In its current incarnation, APT appears as an additional dselect method that deals with at least HTTP and FTP; change your dselect access method to use APT. You also might need to manually configure your /etc/apt/sources.list file; see the sources.list(5) man page for details on the file format. -- _____________________________ / \ "Dad was reading a book called | David Maze | _Schroedinger's Kittens_.
