apt-get is a wrapper for dpkg. Instructions usually begin, "add xxx to /etc/apt/sources.list." apt-get will try to resolve dependencies for you, dpkg doesn't. -- Cheers John Summerfield Microsoft's most solid OS: http://www.geocities.com/rcwoolley/ Note: mail delivered to me is deemed to be intended for me, for my disposition. ============================== If you don't like being told you're wrong, be right!
