Ok,
Lets say I stick with my "default" sources.list, and scrub the site I found with apt-spy... Assumption is, that the site that I appear to be getting my packages, and updates, from, I think it has been something like this: ftp2.debian.de.xxxxxxxxxx -=- is giving me all the packages that are available.
I have been (trying) to get everything I "used to have" before I had to re-install, back, and I have been having a major problem finding one game... The title for this game was "Rocks and Diamonds", or a variation of this with a "n" instead of "and", I can't find it... I've done apt-cache search for anything, and scrolled through tons of screenfulls trying to find it. My assumption was, my old sources.list was pointing to a site that had it, and now, with this "unchanged" sources.list, I am not.
How does one search a "package" for what "files" are found in it??? Worse yet, apt-cache search appears to not (usually) care what you enter to search for, and returns packages that don't have anything to do with the search you asked for.
From a person with a long standing "Windows" background, this whole "apt-get" thing, is completely foriegn to me, I just don't get it. It (mostly) works, but, like I have found out, the "upgrade" has gotten me into more trouble than anything I could have ever done in "Windows".
I did find "xdigger", which is close to what I am looking for, but it is not the Rocks and Diamonds that I remember I had installed before the re-install.
Thanks for any, and all, assistance,
Cuddles
