Thanks, Ric. :-) That looks hopeful. Now if I could just get catch-up TV..... I'm also having trouble using the remote. I have found lots of stuff via Google that says go to here, then go to there, but absolutely nothing that says *how* to get there. I have managed to open the video folder, and turn the m/c off. And that is it!! I even tried plugging in a mouse and keyboard, but they didn't work. I think that I have bitten off more than I can chew. I should stick to "normal" computers. I grock them. :-( Lisi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
