I think in most cases you want to think of a real front-end tool (like, for example, aptitude) as a Web browser. 'apt-get' is like wget; if you know exactly what you're looking for it's useful, but it's hard to ask it why certain things are, and it completely ignores package "suggests:" and "recommends:" relationships. 'dpkg' is more like netcat, while we're drawing bad analogies. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
