You can create a package that does nothing but depend on packages you want to have installed, and possibly conflict with packages you want removed. I suggest however that in such a case you have one package which handles the conflicts and have the main meta-package recommend (not depend) on it. Then if someone really wants to have one of the undesired packages then they can do it. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Main Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
