Um, removing it manually is probably the easiest and most direct method. FinkCommander calls fink, fink calls apt, apt calls dpkg? Yuck--just try "dpkg -r emacs21" and cut out the middle-men. Bonus: you're more likely to get relevant (or *any*) error or warning messages this way. dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
