Try Synaptic ;) Works fine even on KDE systems, is better organized, offers better search, ... ... no I don't get payed for this writing :D KPackage is not worth loosing a word about it. Just *imho* of cause ;) kind regards Gero ---- I personally never liked synaptic, but then that's why I have adapted to using Command Line, the GUI utilities change too much too often for my taste... On a side note I don't care for Aptitude either... TeddyB
