Hi Kirk, > Hi Terry: I have a mirror on bumpy which gets updated four times a > day, so whydon't you just snare the sources.list file off of speech. Thanks! That's even better... can you give me the url? and path of the sources.list file? OK. where do I find a man page or other docs on apt-get? >From what I understand so far, apt-get update', apt-get dist-upgrade' and apt-get install package-name all need to know either the names of already-installed packages or pagkages that need to be installed, right? How doe you do a full install on a new system with only the base installed, using apt-get? Man do I feel like a newbie! -- --terry Name: Terry D.
