I'd like to recommend adding aptitude to the list. It might not be as strict as dselect, but it does the job quite well (and it's quite more flexible than dselect, if not more featureful). I've been using aptitude solely for some months already, and it's not that bad (I don't have dselect installed on my Debian machines). -- Paolo Alexis Falcone [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
