Beverly, This may make a difference, since I don't remember what version of apt is used in 2.1 (I'm running an "unstable" version). Also, I seem to have forgotten to ask what access method you were using originally :( If apt method doesn't work well for you, use multi CD method. Be sure to insert disk 2 first before updating available packages. One last thing: If you've subscribed to debian-user, I'd suggest you start posting your questions on that list. I'm far from the most com- petent person willing to help a new user. It's a very active list, with very helpful people. -- Regards, Steve
