It is automatically installed. While much of the software installation process is always automated, this flag indicates that the package manager pulled this software in as a dependency of some other software rather than because the user specifically requested this. > and some with '{u}' meaning user installed. No. '{u}' indicates that the package is "unused". This means that the package is both automatically installed, and there is currently no package that depends on it installed. Both apt-get and aptitude have a mode that removes all unused packages. I thought aptitude's default behavior was to remove these as well. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
