The only way I've found to do this is take a look at `apt-cache show packagename`, which lists the suggests/recommends, and use this info to install them manually. Personally, I wouldn't want to ever install suggested/recommended packages blindly, but I think it would be great if apt-get had an option to display them along with the removed/new/upgraded package summaries. -- SGI products are used to create the 'Bugs' that entertain us in theatres and at home. - SGI job posting Geek Code 3.1: GCS d? s+: a- C++ UL++$ P++>+++ L+++>++++ E- W--(++) N+ o+ !K w---$ O M- V?
