I'm not sure exactly what "apt-get dist-upgrade" does... as far as what packages is will install. I do know that "apt-get upgrade" only updates packages that you *currently* have installed. I've done an installation and hopefully have the packages that I need and use often enough. I've also went through and removed packages that I don't need. Now, I keep those installed ones up-to-date with the "upgrade" option. I'm afraid that "dist-upgrade" will add some packages back that someone else thinks I need... Regards Hall
