<<SNIP>> Try: dpkg -l xfree* | grep "^ii" The output should be something like: ii xfree86-common 4.1.0-17 X Window System (XFree86) infrastructure dpkg is the debian package manager. The -l causes dpkg to list all packages that match the pattern "xfree*". The output of that command is piped "|" into the stdin of grep which looks for lines that begin "^" with "ii", lines for which the package is actually installed. ===== [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hacking is a "Good Thing!"
