Is there a way to get the Mandriva Control center to look at sites on
the web for resources for getting files? I will research this on my own
as well, but if anyone has an answer, please do tell.
Incidently, I tried to get Debian to run on my computer but it would not
play well with it. I am going to try downloading the ISO's for the
complete distro and have another go at it, but at this point, I am
worried about losing my data. I have well over a 1000 pictures of armour
from museums from all over the world that I can not replace on it. Now
would be a good time to do a backup eh? hehehe

Wget is a tool for downloading a file from a website.
If you have a package system, then you would use that instead. And the
package system knows about dependencies.
if you have a debian based system like Ubuntu, then this is called apt-get
you can say:
apt-get update
apt-cache search games | grep gnome
apt-get install gnome-games
and you will get it all installed for you.
Is that what you need?
