thanks for posting your solution -- it helps the next poor sot (someone a lot like me) from enduring the same distress! -- DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #44 from Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : Ever think you're reading OUTDATED DOCUMENTATION? Check the last-revised-date: if it's more than a few years ago, then there's probably something more recent out there. It may be under a whole different name, so it'll take perseverance and determination on your part. Be alert -- you'll find it! Also see http://newbieDoc.sourceForge.net/ ...
