Tony >>> I'm very new to bash scripting, so can I just check... Am I right in thinking that grep -v '^#' means 'print lines that do not start with #' So I take it you rem out some lines in the packages file, and this expression ignores them? (And am I right in thinking that the ` ` signs around the expression after "install" are produced by the key to the left of the 1/! key on the top line of the keyboard?)
