Installing the downloaded .deb file would upgrade your existing installation. The file is small because its dependencies (eclipse-jdt, etc.) contain most of the binaries. You would have to download and install those as well. I think it would be easier to unpack the .tar.gz file. as others have suggested. -- Liam O'Toole Birmingham, United Kingdom -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
