Because apt-get uncontroled can scroll stuff off the screen llike recommended programs and suggested programs I found the best way to run it is to do somethiing like the following as an example command. When you get to where it says end, you can hit control-c then hit q to drop back to the debian prompt. This command is used to iteratively scope and select packages. When you're finally finished (that's when you've successfully selected everything in suggested programs and recommended programs you want, then you hit the up-arrow one more time and backspace about 6 times. To select more packages hit the up-arrow once; backspace about 6 times and key in the next package you want followed by a space aand then finish up the command: As an example you could try: apt-get -q installl mimedefang graphdefang | less <cr>
Why not just use a tool like aptitude or synaptic? -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sanchez http://familiasanchez.net/~sanchezr
