I could not get the cdroms to read no matter where I was, even as root. Permissions were there and fstab looked right just couldn't see anything on the cdroms. I ended up with such a mess that I reinstalled the whole system. Now I am back to having the updates and the -24 kernel and am d/ling the texstar 3.1 packages again. Lost the last batch somewhere. So, did you d/l everything including the devel packages? One really doesn't need the devel packages in most cases do they? I ask cause sometimes there are dependencies based on a development package. I am trying again. Never quit. TIA for any hints. -- Dennis M. linux user #180842
