So did I. If anyone is interested, here it is. It's two sh scrpits, that I
place under /usr/local/bin/:
calcula-size--
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

# Package list can be created with:

# and their size, so
$DPKG_AVAILABLE='/var/lib/dpkg/status';
open (DPKG,$DPKG_AVAILABLE);
while ()

if ( /^Installed-Size:(.*)$/ )

echo "-- ---" >> tmp_quetengo
calcula-size | sort -nr -k 1 >> tmp_quetengo
less tmp_quetengo
rm tmp_quetengo
I also made some changes so that packages were listed in alphabetical order,
given certain option, but I am not on that machine at this moment (sorry).
Hope it helps.
BTW, does anyone know about a scripts repository so that I can improve mine?
Kind regards

Giving up on Slink, moving to potato?
Hi, I have an IBM Thinkpad 390E and have been trying to install Debian 2.1 on it for about two weeks now. I can install it no problem, except that I cannot get X Windows configured correctly. I even updraded to XFree86 3.3.5, and still can't get it to work (although I can get Red Hat 6.1 installed on it in my first try). The problem is that I don't want Red Hat, I want to run Debian. I even had two linux engineers here where I work try to get it running, and they had no success. I have checked out linux resources for IBM Thinkpads on the net, and have also received much useful information from this list. But, I think I am giving up on slink. I may have to move to Red Hat, even though I don't want to. But first I want to ask a question. I have never used an unstable release. (And I am also a newbie). Is it worth giving Potato a try? Should Potato make this problem easier to tackle for me? Or would the fact that it is unstable, only make life more difficult? Thanks, Bryan Walton
