Have a look in /var/cache/apt/archives and you will find all the debs that you have downloaded and installed. Copy those that you want to a safe place and later you can reinstall them via 'dpkg -i thedeb' (ASAIK even if you uninstall the package the debs will still remain) Mike -- Mike Lake Uni of Technol., Sydney UTS CRICOS Provider Code: 00099F DISCLAIMER ======================================================================== This email message and any accompanying attachments may contain confidential information.
