You should be able to find that easily with Google, as it is a classic... Put this in /etc/apt/apt.conf: APT::Cache-Limit 20000000; That is 20 million. The number is somewhat arbitrary, but that is what's in my file. If you don't have this file, just create it as root with that single line in it. 'man apt.conf' should also help. -- Maurits van Rees | http://maurits.vanrees.org/ [Dutch/Nederlands] Public GnuPG key: http://maurits.vanrees.org/var/gpgkey.asc "It can seem like you're doing just fine, but the creep's creeping into your mind." - Neal Morse
