I have tried this but there are dependencies. I keep getting the required packages down only to find out that they too need some other package... Is there a command (or maybe a dpkg argument) that I can use to find out exactly what packages I need to install some other package? I checked the Packages file on the debian FTP site but there seem to be other packages required besides those listed here. > The base system is the smallest one that permits you to install packages. > If you had a CD, it might be different - I think we might support more > default packages in a system installed from CD eventually, because there > is not the size problem we have with the floppy-based install. Ok. That makes sense. :) Regards, David -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
