Hi Dave :) a very good solution. Thank you:). Is there a way also to get the versions of the packages? There's no need to do it, if someone will run a regular 64 Studio, so I think it would be off topic to ask this in the thread, but I'm running a mix of Debian versions and unofficial APT repositories. E.g. $ aptitude -V > ~/Desktop/versions.txt seems to be no good idea. I'll google myself for apt, aptitude and dpkg, --help wasn't a help for me. Maybe you (or someone else) have the answer ready to hand. If not, I'll search the net. Cheers, Ralf
