hi ... try to use apt-get.... with "apt-get update" you receive the package informations (provided by /etc/apt/sources.list)... with "apt-get install <packagename>" you get the wanted packages... but it's usefull (when dealing with woody) to use "apt-get -s install <packagename>", then apt-get only shows what it "would" do... i hope i could help you a bit, cos im a newbie either... greets peter
