Thus I answered 'none' to the question regarding the non-free and non-US packges only to be confronted with the same question regarding '_local_ Packages.cd' file. Moving forward I have also answered 'none' to this although unlike non-free and non-US it would seem that I have no good reason to so answer.. but here goes. Having done that and selecting [ I ] for install I immediately get 'installation script returned error exit status 1' Then press RETURN to continue which returns me to the 'dselect' package handling frontend. At this point I would guess the install has basically failed, so there is no point in not trying CD 1 starting with [U] for update: I did that and it immediately failed with 'installation script returned error exit status 1'. So it looks like my install is dead! Can it be this difficult? Ron
