Okay, that did it. Now, the question is what to do about things that I think might be important The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: libgnomecupsui1.0-1c2a libcamel1.2-8 libgtkhtml3.8-15 cupsys-common libgail17 libc-client2002edebian libparted1.7-1 libneon25 libportaudio0 libicu36 industrial-cursor-theme libxt-java type-handling libasn1-6-heimdal esound libkrb5-17-heimdal refblas3 libpostproc0d libedata-cal1.2-5 xulrunner-gnome-support libgpod0 gcc-3.4-base libmdbtools libcdio6 libwnck18 guile-1.6-libs libgutenprintui2-1 python-qt3 libpoppler0c2 gs-common gdb libegroupwise1.2-10 python-sip4 ttf-opensymbol libecal1.2-6 libxul0d libdirectfb-0.9-25 gnome-keyring-manager libio-zlib-perl liferea-xulrunner libqthreads-12 libflac7 libeel2-2.14 iputils-arping libebook1.2-5 libedataserverui1.2-6 gtkhtml3.8 libiw28 libedataserver1.2-7 libmozjs0d discover1-data libxklavier10 libgda2-3 libavcodec0d libgucharmap4 libpq4 libmyspell3c2 pmount libsnmp9 libtotem-plparser1 libservlet2.3-java libxul-common libgda2-common mkisofs libnautilus-burn3 libxp6 libpoppler0c2-glib libroken16-heimdal libguile-ltdl-1 libgssapi4-heimdal libnss3-0d libavahi-core4 libpisync0 I'm pretty sure I need a lot of those things to build certain audio and video applications I use. I definitely need mkisofs. Will these be uninstallable afterwards? Or is it just these versions? -- Joe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
