dpkg -l question
Hello, I see that when I run # dpkg -l I get a nice listing of installed packages, but if I pipe that command into less or more or even grep whatever, then the listing gets scrunched up, and it cuts off the end of packages with longer names. Is there a way to display it to show the long name? or is there a better way to get a partial dpkg -l listing? Thanks! cheers, Mike --- Sent via IMP -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
