Thanks Jan That was tense! ;) At this stage I've only done glibc and jdk. Good news - I can open spreadsheets with no problem now. The reasons for going into OSX diminish ;) My only comment on the process is that I didn't really know what I was doing. I think I'll write up some notes that may help people who, like me, don't know much ;) I'll continue for a while with 1.0.3 until I feel brave enough to take on the challenge of 1.1. I downloaded everything bar something.udeb in the glibc folder and everything in the jdk folder. I suspect I didn't need ncsd, should I remove it? Also I seem to have installed some sort of webserver in the process - if I run top there is a daemon thttpd running, is this a coincidence or have I installed it inadvertantly? Sorry to ask so many dumb questions ;) Clive
