Let's see ... dselect. Oh yeah, I remember that one. I haven't even touched that program in over a year. I started with Slink off of CDROM, upgraded to Potato via the internet, and have also installed and deinstalled bunches of packages. Mostly I use apt, with occasional back-up from dpkg. IIRC apt came about either with potato or late in Slaink - I really don't remember. But at any rate it *should* be there on your drive somewhere. I never did like dselect all that much. If I want to find what's available, I either check Debian's web site or look through the Package.gz files that apt downloads. So, yes there are others out there. And apt works quite well. -- Mike Werner KA8YSD | "Where do you want to go today?" ICQ# 12934898 | "As far from Redmond as possible!" '91 GS500E | Morgantown WV | Only dead fish go with the flow.
