Back up is never amiss Bill. :-) I just figured that urpmi instructions would be a more comfortable solution for anyone that was having trouble. I was aware of the nanardon site, as well as urpmi.setup from contribs. But you're correct, I haven't run 8.2 (or 9.0 or 9.1 for all that) for quite some time. A hint; look at my sig. <g> Thanks Bill.
