A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. I'm a somewhat experienced Linux newbie (if there is such a thing), so I know about apt-get. I tried to use it to get something, and it suggested that I might want to run "apt-get -f install". Trying to be open to suggestions, I told it to go ahead.
Well, it decided that I shouldn't have KDE on my system any more and took it off! Luckily, since installing Corel Linux (can I still stay on this list? <g>), I have been collecting non-KDE apps, so I'm still in business. It evidently took some other stuff off without replacing it: Northern Captain now refuses to start because of a missing libjpeg.so.6. What would you recommend to replace the stuff that was lost? "Missing stuff" messages tend to use different names from the packages that contain those files. I just received my copy of _Learning Debian GNU/Linux_, so by next week I won't have any more questions. <g> Lane ---- Lane Lester / Madison County, Georgia USA ---- Coming to you through Corel Linux
