Dear readers, I want to use dselect on a small system (486, 66 mhz, 8 mb) so I can use the machine as a firewall/gateway etc. The problem is that dselect is very very slow.. only reading the available packages database takes about half an hour, when i want to sort the list it takes about 1 hour extra. I can't work with that speed! Aren't there other faster front-ends, or is there a smart option in dpkg that can help me?
much thanks in advance, Martin -- Linux Gebruikers Handleiding v1.2 : http://2mypage.cjb.net Linux RedHat 6.1 Kernel 2.2.14 Toshiba P233 MHz, 32 Mb RAM 11:50am up 5 days, 14:48, 2 users, load average: 0.08, 0.11, 0.13 Western Civilization, that would be a good idea!
