Re: Question regarding upgrading from Desktop to Server version of Feisty Fawn

Without putting x windows on, the only package manager I had was apt-get.

Aptitude does not require X.

Even now I have to run synaptec (sp?) as root to make a manager work.

Only root can install or remove packages. However sudo should work.
