Hello<br><br>Nick,<br><br>In debian apt-get uses two stages.<br>First you use "apt-get update' to update the local package database.<br>Then you issue "apt-get upgrade" or "apt-get dist-upgrade" to actually upgrade the packages. You will find this to be the longer process.
<br>dist-upgrade is the smarter version of the two, that occationally deletes some "lesser important" package in that is in the way of a more important package. However, it can create havok sometimes. If you want to install a new package, you can issue "apt-get install <package name>. To find the correct package name , apt-cache search <searchstring> is often of help. goodluck and enjoy debian!
<br><br><br>I don't know knopmyth so I don't know about the other mail to your question that upgrading knopmyht will lead to problems. (There is only one way to find out:-)<br><br><br clear="all">Regards,<br><br>Bert<br><br>
