Quoting michael@etalon.net:
Hello, I see that when I run # dpkg -l I get a nice listing of installed packages, but if I pipe that command into less or more or even grep <whatever>,then the listing gets scrunched up, and it cuts off the end of packages with longer names.Is there a way to display it to show the long name? or is there a better way to get a partial dpkg -l listing?
ah yes, man dpkg showed dpkg --get-selections That should work nicely, Cheers, Mike --- Sent via IMP
