Why don't you try dselect to manage packages? Just set "apt" as access method in dselect and it will use apt-get to download the packages for you. > How do I stop apt-get from trying to install lilo each time I run it. At the > moment I just ctrl-c out of it each time Run apt-get from dselect. First run update from the dselect menu, then go to the select screen and unset the lilo selection. Then run install from the dselect main menu. Cheers, Joost
