You might be interested to know that: If you install an app with apt-get then the .deb will be saved to /var/cache/apt/archives If you then click on that .deb using GMC (the default Gnome file manager) the contents will be opened up as if the .deb were a directory. Very neat. If you don't use Gnome, then mc (Midnight Commander) will do a similar thing. I find thsi useful because it is easy to read docs etc. before the package is installed. -- Phillip Deackes Using Storm Linux 2000
