Re: Is Etch Stable is really stable?

Deboo ^ <knowledgeful@xxxxxxxxx>:
Well, can someone tell me if I have to delete the
/var/cache/apt/archives to do a clean install .... or is it that it
will be cleaned too when issuing the apt-get install clean ?

(0) heretic.spots.ab.ca /home/keeling_ aptitude search clean
p bibclean - pretty-printer for BibTeX databases
p gtk2-engines-cleanice - CleanIce themes for GTK+ 2.x
p libhtml-clean-perl - Cleans up HTML code for web browsers, not human

"clean" doesn't appear to exist. :-(

I know there's aptitude clean and autoclean. The first blows away all
archives. The latter tries to do it more sensibly.

A "clean install" blows everything away, and starts from scratch.

BTW, see my .sig! I have "don't Cc: me" in mine too. Your MUA doesn't
honour Reply To List. You need to edit your To: header manually. FYI.
