Everything on a stable Debian system should come from "the repositories", and therefore you should always use apt-get or aptitude, which are equivalent in this regard. Using dpkg directly in order to install files is a mechanism of last resort, and in general you should never be doing this unless you know 100% why you are needing to do it. -jim _______________________________________________ NZLUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.linux.net.nz/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nzlug
