Fred, use aptitude instead of dselect. /* aptitude is a curses-based apt frontend with a number of useful extended features, including: a mutt-like syntax for matching packages in a flexible manner, dselect-like persistence of user actions, the ability to retrieve and display the Debian changelog of most packages, and extreme flexibility and customization. */ Use "dpkg -l" for the list of installed packages. Also try apt-cache search package-name | check for the availability apt-cache show package-name | and description of any package Regards -- .''`. Dileep M.
