Geez, you guys really need to switch to GUI mode.<br><br>Then again... I don't have access to any of those neat commands like 'update wardrobe'...

If you start running it on a schedule,<br>you can only stop running it on that schedule through great pain and<br>effort. Adding it to a different schedule does NOT stop it from running<br>on the initial schedule.<br><br>If you run the "apt-get update wardrobe" manually, you must run it often<br>enough, but, you will find that you get to select options that you can't<br>select when running it on a schedule.
This method also associates your<br>uid and gid with the update. This association has many subtle benefits.<br>By running it manually, you also get the benefits of the feedback.<br>Please note, to get the most out of the update you must use the<br>--enthusiasm and --smiles switches. I encourage you to use the -vvv<br>switch. While most of the information is meaningless, it can help you<br>respond appropriately if the update needs additional information. Also,<br>never, never use the --lookswide switch. Just pretend that switch<br>doesn't exist.<br><br>Also, you may be surprised at (or may have forgotten) the performance<br>improvements that you can experience by running "apt-get install<br>freshflowers". I've seen the best performance improvement when I run it<br>remotely and let the system sit idle for a few hours after the install.<br><br>Dennis<br><br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: grlug-bounces@grlug.org [mailto:grlug-bounces@grlug.org] On Behalf<br>Of

since with a good install such as I have the<br>system logs are emptied on a frequent basis so finding one's mistakes<br>becomes difficult.
