Thanks for the help. I like the 'auto-apt' solution although it
appears to be only available for Woody. I can do a source build with
apt-get, however, for my Potato builds. The problem with trying to
find a particular command using the Debian web site package search is
that the commands are not exhaustively listed in the package's
description (naturally).
Thanks, again,
Paul
