But that is how I did it. The problem is really when one is trying to find a package that should do X, but one have no clue what program/package that can provide this service. So it is a tool to search for packages that I miss. Like the one one the debian web-pages (if it had only worked properly), but for use on an off-line computer. -- Preben Randhol - Ph.D student - http://www.pvv.org/~randhol/ "i too once thought that when proved wrong that i lost somehow" - i was hoping, alanis morisette
