lol, thanks, I didn't expect such a quick or precise answer :-) To me, it appears that both pull in a pretty hefty 'base', but Amarok is demanding about 80 more packages than gtkpod. Now, I will admit that I do not know how much more functionality Amarok might add, so I'm not saying that those extra 80 packages are just 'fluff'. -- J -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
