Yes, the GUI should do this. You might need to click a button or select a menu option first however to trigger it. Synaptic Package Manager, for example, has a big Reload button that looks like it should do the update operation. There are multiple GUIs out there, you haven't said which one you are using. You will find many people use the command line, so that will the only one they are familiar with. -- Brian May <[email protected]> https://linuxpenguins.xyz/brian/ _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] https://lists.luv.asn.au/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luv-main
