Yeah, I agree with you, and was thinking more along the lines of what you
said. A way to bulk single shot install/upgrade/remove a group of
packages.
The information for these sets would not be in the packages file and would
not be part of the Dependancy mechanism.
BTw, did you get the last um.. 4-5 emails in the past two days, and are
