having recently used `make xconfig' to make a new kernel, i think a simple, easy-to-use package management GUI would be wonderful. i agree -- there should still be a 24x80-mode interface, hopefully simpler than dselect is now. this could be used for new installs and fairly average operations. then, once x11/tcl/tk is installed (yeah, i'm presuming that people would eventually install these anyway), a well-designed GUI interface could provide all the functionality of dselect without trying to fit it into an ASCII-terminal paradigm. dpkg could still be used for more complex installs where one needs more control/expectability than dselect provides, yet doesn't require anything in the way of graphic interfaces. john -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
