Did that, no change. What did make it usable was checking the use trutype fonts box. That made the font about 4x bigger so I was able to set that back to middle sized. So I ran a sudo aptitude, had it update, showed 2 packages for security, and 65 broken packages. But I couldn't figure out how to get a list of broken packages. So I quit it, and used synaptic to install the 2 security updates. And synaptic shows zero broken packages vs aptitude saying 65? I'm afraid to give it a blank check by hiting the g key because it wants to rip out as many as 350 proggy's I do use occasionally. > Best regards To you too Michael Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
