Not sure about the rest of your questions, but you can use apt-get to remove a package, and it removes those packages depending on it too. Type: apt-get remove pkgname or apt-get --purge remove pkgname (to purge the old config files) > Can I force debian to grab a particular version of the > pkgs? I know that has to do with /etc/apt/preferences, but I don't remember offhand what the syntax is. Anyone? -- War means never having to take a vote. Eric Christopherson, a.k.a.
