[Voyage-linux] Trying to install ethereal on Voyage-Current...

[Kim-man "Punky" TSE]

Hi Jerry,

Please find my response for the removing ed/elvis-tiny/nano through 
apt-get. 

On important thing you need to know is that ethereal is now called 
"wireshark", the console one is called "tshark".  See
http://packages.debian.org/testing/net/ethereal
http://packages.debian.org/testing/net/tethereal

So regardless the problem of ed, etc., ethereal or wireshark should be 
installed.

Regards,
Punky
