What is the best way to see which perl and debconf I have?
I had to back out of a woody install, but I don't think some things got
backed down (perl maybe being one)
Thanks!

or is there a
better way with apt? I'm afraid since the package is new that it will
think I don't need to change it.
Any advice appriciated!

Q: How well are CD-RW-Writers supported?
A: You can write on CD-RW's exactly like on a CD-Recordable. X-CD-Roast
does not handle these any differently. To erase a CD-RW you have to
call
cdrecord manually (see the X-CD-Roast logfile where to find cdrecord
and
what your scsi-device is).

Hi,
I have seen this with the latest net packages in most version
since 1.3.95, I think. Still happens at 1.99.8, but less so than some
earlier kernels. I have yet to boot 1.99.10.
Hasn't caused my any problems, but YMMV.
