thanks, i just did that.

i was hoping there was an easy solution for this and it's sorta a dpkg /
apt-get issue so i figured it'd apply here as well.

btw, i was wrong on the apt-get switch, there's a dependency switch for dpkg
but not apt-get and i'm still stuck with either no ssh or x libraries...
