HV> HV> but searching in www.debian.org is (was...) very quick and complete. apt-file works with any package, no matter if you have downloaded/installed it, becouse it uses the "Contents-<arch>.gz" file of a distro as a index: bash-2.05b$ apt-file search CD-Writing-HOWTO.gz doc-linux-fr-text: usr/share/doc/HOWTO/fr-txt/CD-Writing-HOWTO.gz doc-linux-text: usr/share/doc/HOWTO/en-txt/CD-Writing-HOWTO.gz I think you need an "apt-file update" to get the Contents.gz (did you Readed The Fine Manual??). You can also try this, after the apt-file update: bash-2.05b$ zgrep CD-Writing-HOWTO.gz /var/cache/apt/<mirror>_debian_dists_sid_Contents-<arch>.gz usr/share/doc/HOWTO/en-txt/CD-Writing-HOWTO.gz doc/doc-linux-text usr/share/doc/HOWTO/fr-txt/CD-Writing-HOWTO.gz doc/doc-linux-fr-text -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
