Thanks. Mattias explained that I had a misunderstanding of how things work. External tools do the download for the package management systems. The latter simply does the install/uninstall of packages. > In Red Hat it should be some similar utility, I think "apt-get". In > Ubuntu it is Synaptic maybe? Don't remember exactly the name ... Ubuntu used 'apt-get' for the command line and 'synaptic' as a GUI. Ubuntu being Debian based, it uses *.deb packages. Red Hat I believe still uses *.rpm packages. 'yum' being the command line download utility. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
