I made myself unclear there, sorry. The apt_x.x.x.deb package contains apt-get which is the command-line tool you are referring to. As far as I'm concerned you can use it in an xterm ;) The same pacakge also contains the dselect apt method. Its simply putting apt's power under the 'friendly' dselect interface. I think it indeed blatantly use apt-get as it's backend. (Or the same libs) The gnome-apt_x.x.x.deb package (needs 'more or less' a recent gnome, an is available on the gnome-staging areas) contains gnome-apt, which is what those screenshots represent. It's only a GUI, which uses apt-get to do all it's real work. (and of course dpkg) Christian Lavoie [EMAIL PROTECTED] UIN: 947212
