After doing this, is it then necessary to go install the dependent package? That is, if A requires B and you have to swap CDs to install B, do you have to go back and install A again? Incidentally, even when I see the error message that a particular package was required but not found, I don't see which package required it. Is there any way to get this information? --K.S.
