And man apt-get will give you similar results.. There are many, many alternative methods of
divesting that particular feline of it's pelt.. I just showed you how *I've* been doing it for over
10 years..
Easier to just click the "Package manager" icon and click on xine..
Different strokes for different folks.. I don't want to wait 12 hours to install openoffice while it
compiles.. particularly as I'm often disconnected and on battery. My debian DVD does that job nicely..
I'd added another couple of paragraphs here, but I needn't bother..
