Notice that since that time, NEW handling improved tremendously.

Is there a tool for that? apt-get ? Just go into the chroot, and use the apt-get tool normally, you maybe need to reset your /etc/resolv.conf and apt sources, but apart from that, it is a fully functioning environment. Not sure, but you could maybe even try to run a fully fledged X inside it :) Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
