Thread: Puzzled by Aptitude during install of 11.04--what's it supposed to do?
hello,
have used various linux distros 10 years, new ubuntu.
installing 11.04_64-bit on amd athlon ii machine. figured out how partition 2 disks , load grub on disk 2. other choices i've worked out.
however, aptitude new me. isn't intuitive, farpressing "g" twice seemed download large number of packages installed, next screen looks same i'm not sure if happened.
web docs @ https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/instal...ls.html#pkgsel refers step of instal briefly, not saying expect or how proceed. fried q (quit) aptitude, got error message , went main task list @ install software. started process over.
also, contrary stated in docs, never asked become root.
in advance.

aptitude merely terminal package manager people prefer apt-get. if want intuitive might happier using gui package manager synaptic.
