As root, you'll have to edit the file /etc/apt/source.list Easiest way is; open a shell and su to root, then start a text editor (e.g nano) and load the file sources.list. It will look something like; -8x------- # Debian Testing deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ testing main deb-src http://http.debian.net/debian/ testing main -8x------- after main, add 'contrib' and if you wish, 'non-free', thus; -8x------- deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ testing main contrib non-free deb-src http://http.debian.net/debian/ testing main contrib non-free -8x------- NOTE: Do not change anything else. The above uses my settings as an example. If you're not using testing, leave whatever is written in its place alone. Save the file and exit the editor. Now you can run your preferred software installer (e.g. apt-get) and update the database of files (e.g. apt-get update). At this stage it will be possible to install the mscorefonts package. Good luck, and if you need any more assistance, we're all here to help. -- Regards _ / ) "The blindingly obvious is / _)rad never immediately apparent" Walking through town is quite scary I Predict A Riot - Kaiser Chiefs
