I note that (as a Debian Newbie) my ventures into downloading packages from a Debian mirror with "apt-get install" also result in some unneeded entries in the WWWOFFLE cache. I believe that this can be avoided if I disable my $HTTP_PROXY prior to invoking "apt-get".
Any undesirable side effects if I go down that path? Felix Karpfen -- Felix Karpfen Public Key 72FDF9DF (DH/DSA)
