Well, its only a fonts deb, I think (since I can't see the subject when I reply to an email [comes with using Mutt on a terminal]). As long at the CD itself passed MD5 (after you downloaded it before you burned it). Once you get things installed, you can change /etc/apt/sources.list to just point to the debian archives and not use the CD. Also, on Debian, you don't need to use ms fonts; there's the free bitstream-vera. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
