not sure, I have to admit I don't think i've ever read any of the debian documentation outside of package-specific stuff. apt-get was out for about a year before I first started using it. I haven't used dselect I don't think since debian 2.0 and installing debian 2.1(once the install was done I never used it again, preferred to download and dpkg -i manually). I never liked dselect..don't know why it would be reccomended especially for upgrades, I think I read somewhere that apt-get was specifically designed to handle dependencies better then dselect for upgrading or something. that said, last I checked, dselect did have the ability to call apt, not sure how long this option has been available at least a year or 2 I think. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
