Ulf, Thanks for your reply. I have a 1.3.1 CD with xtetris on it, and since I've upgraded to hamm fully, it's no longer available thru dselect. I tried what you suggested, but xtetris wouldn't run at all, so I removed it. I think it's odd to have packages available in dselect which have dependencies that aren't available.
oh, well, i found a mixer that's good (tkmixer) and since it's only a game that i can't get to work, it's really no big deal. debian remains the best OS that I'm aware of, IMHO. :) matty Matt Thompson MZI, Inc. v-206.430.3726 707 S.
