Re: list all packages that are installed

[Lonnie Mullenix <mullenix@myexcel.com>]

Just gave this a try on my Debian 3.0 machine.
Works in xterm
Does not work in rxvt
Does not work from cmd

VERY handy for 'dpkg --configure <package name>.  Don't have to guess at what the last few letters/numbers might be.

Thanks,

Lonnie
