I just wanted to mention a nice little command-line wrapper around apt-get, apt-cache, and related commands developed by the antiX developers (called cli-aptiX), that is said to be in some ways similar to Synaptic. http://download.tuxfamily.org/antix/docs-antiX-19/FAQ/cli_aptix.html Browsing the rest of the antiX FAQ reveals a number of such pleasant surprises. They do good work. Vivat antiX! Semper sint in flore. (My own notion of a 'GUI package manager' is apt-get in an xterm. My own notion of how to make sure an application has superuser privilege is to do 'su -' to get it. policykit? I don't need no steenin policykit.) -- Cheers, "Maybe the law ain't perfect, but it's the only Rick Moen one we got, and without it we got nuthin'." r...@linuxmafia.com -- U.S. Deputy Marshal Bass Reeves, circa 1875 McQ!
