I've recently put three boxes together (new for me; pass down of mine to the mizzus, pass down of hers to a friend) and this has worked well for me. apt-get install debconf apt-utils has brought the other essential packages (including perl and dpkg) with it though. x was not installed prior to the upgrade on any of these boxes though. bob
