apt-get tip

[Jude DaShiell]

Because apt-get uncontroled can scroll stuff off the screen llike 
recommended programs and suggested programs I found the best way to run it 
is to do somethiing like the following as an example command.  When you 
get to where it says end, you can hit control-c then hit q to drop back to 
the debian prompt.  This command is used to iteratively scope and select 
packages.  When you're finally finished (that's when you've successfully 
selected everything in suggested programs and recommended programs you 
want, then you hit the up-arrow one more time and backspace about 6 times. 
To select more packages hit the up-arrow once; backspace about 6 times and 
key in the next package you want followed by a space aand then finish up 
the command:  As an example you could try:




apt-get -q installl mimedefang graphdefang | less <cr>

Try using aptitude instead of apt-get.  It is a full screen app, and it
works well with speakup.
