I now have all the lines in sources.list commented out except those for
testing. I ran "apt-get install -f" followed by "apt-get update" then
"apt-get dist-upgrade" and, finally, "apt-get install -f" again with no
problems. The final "apt-get install -f" exited with "0 upgraded, 0
newly installed, 0 removed and 0 not upgraded"
Rebooted. A line with a red + went by with a message something to the
effect: 'files not mounted with error code 96' but the system started at
console tty1, no X-window. Logged on as root, went to /usr/sbin and ran
gdm. X-window gnome logon screen came up and I logged on as tom,
started Mozilla and read mail. Still cannot use Wacom mouse, lsmod
shows wacom module loaded, not used.

Tom
