Hi: Once you've done an apt-get update, you can use the apt-cache program to look at available package lists. Useful commands are: apt-cache search <expression> search for packages containing <expression> in their descriptions. Good to pipe through more apt-cache show <packagename> List full details for the given package Do a man apt-cache for more info. Geoff. -- Geoff Shang <gshang10 at scu.edu.au> ICQ number 43634701
