They are two different front-ends for package management. apt lets you do stuff like apt-get update, and apt-get dist-upgrade, or apt-get install mozilla. dselect uses ncurses to give you a menu of packages to select from. dselect is good if you want to poke around and see what there is. (apt-cache search is good for this too.) apt-get is faster for installing something when you know what you want. -- #define X(x,y) x##y Peter Cordes ; e-mail: X([EMAIL PROTECTED] , ns.ca) "The gods confound the man who first found out how to distinguish the hours!
