Well, you'll only have to re-download them if you need the .debs again, like if you need to reinstall them. Once a package has been installed, you generally don't need to keep the .deb around . It helps on unstable sometimes when the latest version of a package breaks something and you want to roll back to the older version -- then you appreciate having the .deb sitting there in /var/cache/apt/archives. good times, Vineet -- Currently seeking opportunities in the SF Bay Area Please see http://www.doorstop.net/resume.shtml
