Hi, You can not get this information directly from the Packages file. You can look at the .deb file with zless and find a listing similar to an ls -l listing of all files and directories the packages installs. Calculating the disk storage requirement for a set of packages by this method would be quite tedious. Bob -- _ |_) _ |_ Robert D.
