a) It is difficult to read your mails. Really difficult. You might investigate use of the "enter" key. :) b) Keep in mind that you can install multiple files with dpkg; put all the .debs in an empty directory, 'cd' to that directory, then 'dpkg -i *.deb'. That should avoid most dependency issues in a non-hackey manner. -- .--=====-=-=====-=========----------=====-----------=-=-----=. / David Barclay Harris Aut agere, aut mori. \ \ Clan Barclay Either action, or death. / `-------======-------------=-=-----=-===-=====-------=--=----'
