Re: apt list

[Erich Schroeder <erich@museum.state.il.us>]

As I understand, the information is stored in the apt cache. You can use:

apt-shell 
  where you get an ftp-like shell and you can do "ls" and so forth 
  (including help)

apt-iselect
  download a script from 
  http://www.rot13.org/~dpavlin/apt-iselect.html
  that does pretty much the same thing, but also gives you information

apteryx
  Haven't tried this, may not work under RH.

There are others, I expect.
