Hi I don't know about debian (just came back to linux from solaris) but iproute2 only have to be installed if you use certain syntax/feature. it is workeable without it. I guess it should be suggested and not dependent. did you install it with apt or with dselect? (it's my understanding that apt only install dependent packages and doesn't say anything about suggested). > > madmac > > > > > > -- > Doug MacFarlane > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
