However, for future builds I will of course move on. . . For Hazel I confirm that the link provided by Bruce works with no problem for me. Thanks also to Bruce for the pertinent reminders of the caveats regarding repositories in chapter 3. Had I looked back I would probably have saved everyone some time ! Perhaps this thread is solved now and can be closed ? Many thanks to all for the prompt replies Terence
