i'm running potato -- and dpkg tells me that apt-setup came in the base-config package. or did i bypass something somehow? -- DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #31 from Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : Ever wonder why Debian STABLE SEEMS OUT-OF-DATE? It's because it's STABLE! When enough testing shows a release to be worthy of the "stable" name, it's frozen -- nothing new can be added to it. Gizmo 57.3 might come out the next day, but it won't show up in the stable release. If you want to be on the bleeding edge, try "testing" or "unstable". If you want solid dependability, stick with "stable" and use tried-and-true packages instead of the newfangled ones that might break. Also see http://newbieDoc.sourceForge.net/ ...
