But it might work if it just downloads the deb and installs it. This would effectively be an "update check" - in my opinion, this would be really cool: Check every week for updates and if there is a newer version, if there is one, offer to download it and install it. Problem might be: different distros and different mechanisms, but one could start with one repo and add them on the go. But I would think, it is not to difficult to do? Rainer > > -- > John C.
