Hello Andreas, I did the above and when I updated the etc/apt/souces.list I opened access to the security updates from Debian. When I did the apt-get update and apt-get upgrade, nearly three hours of upgading (on my dialup system, I live in the country) went on. After that I did "apt-get upgrade kde" and some upgrading seemed to go on. After it was finished I re-booted Debian but as far as I can see it is still KDE 2.2.2. I did apt-get upgrade konqueror and it is still the 2.2.2 version. Am I missing something somewhere. Thank you, Bill. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
