synaptic is a hell more simple than aptitude. to the debian newbe (i remember quite clearly my first sarge (testing then) install ) it is plain intimidating. and I wouldn't call aptitud a 'gui', but ascii-graphical, but that's just personal terminology preference. some people call the d-i a text installer...Max wrote:Dear All,When installing Sarge this morning I chose the option for manually choosing which packages to install. There was a simple GUI where I could see which packages were available and select which I wanted. Was that synaptic?Regards, MaxI'd guess it was aptitude, but I'm not sure. I wouldn't describe synaptic's GUI as "simple" anyway... Cheers, Oliver
