Cool. I had browsed through the archives lookng for a pdf reader that didn't depend on X but I missed 'fbi', presumably since I was using aptitude which searches only package names by default. Lazy, I know :). I notice now, however, that 'fbi' doesn't provide the virtual package 'pdf-viewer'; the only ones that do are 'evince', the xpdf packages, 'kpdf', 'gv', 'kghostview', and 'viewpdf'. Is this a bug in 'pdf-viewer'? Celejar -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
