I have it running now. I had to refresh the application
lists, but now it shows me what I have and don't have in each
category. It also gives me lots of info about each entry --
though it keeps making me wait for it.
But I have a *very* clueless question. When I highlight
some one item, and click Install or Remove, what happens? Does it
do it right then? Or is it putting together a list somewhere, the
way pirut did, waiting for me to tell it Apply (in some way I
don't see)? Telling it to install the netspeed applet didn't make
the icon for that change. Maybe I have to keep refreshing the
list to see that??
