If you want to search for a particular package in dselect, use the `/'. I hate to say this, but reading dselect's online help is very informative. If you want to know what files are installed by a package and where they went, use `dpkg --listfiles <package-name>'. Again, `dpkg --help' and `man dpkg' are very useful. Noel
