I don't understand what you mean. You want to tell Aptitude to do a bunch of stuff, and then tell it to not do it? Well you could always use Aptitude at the console, it has a ncurses interface. Just mark the packages you want for installation and quit the program without doing anything (Or run it as non-root, you definitely won't break anything that way). Or you could use aptitude's dry-run option, as follows: $ aptitude --simulate install <whatever> If neither of these are what you were asking maybe you should elaborate. I just assumed you meant you wanted Aptitude to act like Synaptic. - -- <o) Debian GNU/Linux - Free as in Freedom /\\ http://digital-haze.net/~pobega/ _\_V Window Maker user, Debian enthusiast -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGGQqH/o7Q/FCvPe0RAoZmAJ0TselHt2gtbDQzQeuXTNb2qQ1XEQCgpNWF kzmgLD15NITIH5/BwipQrHw= =iW8F -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
