THANK YOU! That did the trick! I used to work for RedHat, back in the Bob Young days, as Installation Support Eng. So, I'm still learning the ropes with apt-get. Fedora went past the point of audience participation until I had to just quit using it. Bob would have never treated his users like that. It was like getting a divorce. But, when I read Mark Shuttleworth's philosophy, it was like being back in the old days of RedHat. I hope you guys stay true to that vision. You taking the time to reply is proof that you are. thanks!
