I need to get a slower internet connection so I can play captris longer while capt does its download... ;-)
It's been too long since you used apt-get; I think you meant apt-get update; apt-get install console-apt; cap; (update before install :) Anyway, now that I've got it installed on my IA32 box (it's got broken deps on powerpc :(, it doesn't seem to ever show anything about recommended or suggested packages, though. I like how dselect lets you see the raw package info if you want to. I read the man page and the online help but didn't see anything about it. -- #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!
