It does pretty much the same thing that your script does. If your script has advantages over the functions provided by deborphan, I'd be very interested to hear them. If you're just re-inventing the wheel for your own amusement, then kudos to you. :) I did the same thing when I wrote a debian mirroring script that basically does the same thing as debmirror only using rsync. :) -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY!
