Sometimes on Debian I'll see a suggestion that looks worthwhile, kill the apt-get, and start it again with the extra package. Of course what Debian is then missing is an explanation of what the extra package does and why it enhances the requested package, eg: yum install foo foo suggests bar bar: with this package you will be able to foo bars as well Rich. -- Richard Jones, Emerging Technologies, Red Hat http://et.redhat.com/~rjones virt-p2v converts physical machines to virtual machines.
