It sure does! Apt-get is amazing! I've been disconnected from the server several times during an install of some 50 plus packages. I'd just issue the same command on the command line and apt-get not only starts off at the package that failed to complete download, it starts in the middle of the download. So if I got say 90% of the package already downloaded, it picks up at 90% where it left off! Not only that, I had downloaded a .deb of the latest gphoto (via ftp) from unstable and tried to install it, but dpkg complained about two dependancies. So I tried to use apt-get install to install the missing packages, but there were some circular dependancies so I had to use -F to 'force' it. Not only did that work, but apt then went and finished the install of gphoto for me! Let's see you do that with RPM! ===== Amateur Radio, when all else fails! http://www.qsl.net/wa2mze Debian Gnu Linux, Live Free or ..... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
