apt-get is a great tool -- *if* you know the exact name of the package you're looking for. It really isn't a good choice for the only tool you ever you to manipulate packages. In current unstable, I like aptitude as a reasonable text-based front-end; you also might try the oft-maligned but functional dselect. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
