You could look at grep-dctrl. I think you can search by section on the packages section on debian.org. But, I think you are barking up the wrong tree. The doc section tends to have packages relating to helping with documentation, i.e. docbook, etc. I think what you want is the doc package of something. Compare "apt-cache search pbx | less" with "apt-cache search pbx | grep doc" Substitute pbx with your subject of interest. To see if it is installed: "apt-cache policy asterisk-doc" You have not been bitten by Debian's stance on "free documentation" have you? Good documentation is better obtained off the web. This is a good thing IMHO. -- Chris. ====== -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
