Use "apt-get" see the man page for "apt-get" and "sources.list" After you set up /etc/apt/sources.list just - # apt-get install netscape-smotif-476 or whatever version you want that is one the server your pointing to. Conversely you should be able to point it to your cd if you don't have a fast connection. See "man apt-cdrom" hth, kent -- I'd really love ta wana help ya Flanders but... Homer Simpson
