Try man apt-get. They aren't equivalent. Apt is fine for installing programs, but for *deciding* what to install, it's useless. I find myself using dselect to search package descriptions, then installing through apt. Sometimes I use lynx or links and search the Debian web site for the program name, then install with apt. Either is unnecessarily clumsy. -- Carl Fink [EMAIL PROTECTED] Manager, Dueling Modems Computer Forum <http://dm.net>
