just a quick apt question

[[P]Diablos]

I think the answer to my question is a 'yes', but I just want to be sure. Is it safe to delete all the .deb files I have in my /var/cache/apt/archives folder? Does apt need these debs to install/upgrade/remove packages, or can I safely delete them once the package is installed? thanks...

Yes, if you are sure you are done with them, you can.

Sure, or you can just use the command 'apt-get clean' to clean the apt cache and clear up some space.

alright, thanks for confirming that! Just freed up about 300megs of space, so that was much appreciated =)
