That didn't work either. It seems that anything I run through a pipe gets truncated. I'm not sure why. If I just run dpkg -l all by itself, I get a nicely spaced output that I could cut and past from, but that would require me to do the work that my computer should do for me ;-). Any suggestions? Running this at the console (as opposed to an X terminal window) doesn't behave any differently. -- Did you know that if you play a Windows 2000 cd backwards, you will hear the voice of Satan? That's nothing! If you play it forward, it'll install Windows 2000.
