I have written a graphical Debian package browser called dpkgview. It is *not* a package installer - it is a browser for installed packages. It is in the early stages of development, but people are more than welcome to test it, on the understanding that this is still beta software. I haven't had time since early May to do any serious work on it; having recently become a father, but I'm hoping to have a hamm-compatible package out sometime this month. The URL is: http://www.netspace.net.au/~gcross/dpkgview/ Bug reports and comments would be appreciated. Cheers Graeme -- Graeme Cross gcross@netspace.net.au
