[LI] apt-get

[RAVIKANT K RAO <ravikant@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey,
  After playing around a lot with dpkg/dselect/apt , I finally got apt-get
working and wow ,it rulz :) 
  Just thought i'd share that .
  Ack, 2 more things that just came to mind.

1] when i shutdown my redhat on the laptop , at the very end , it turns
off the m/c itself , while on slink i am having to look at 'Power Down'
after which I have to manually turn 'power off' . Why ? How do i rectify
it?

2] i can do a # telnet giasmda.vsnl.net.in while if i do a $ telnet
giasmda.vsnl.net.in , it fails to match hostname with its IP 202.54.6.161
  My /etc/resolv.conf is ok.
 
3] How do i restart gpm without rebooting if i run a # mouseconfig on a
RedHat box , or # gpmconfig on a debian box ?  I tried a # ps aux|grep gpm
, got a PID for it and did a killall -HUP , but it only killed , not
restarted.So everytime i wanna see changes get effected , i was having to
reboot , surely there must be someway to bypass that ?

TIA

Ravi.
