Yes - found the answer in the Twiki - where I should have looked before I posted :-). Thanks for replying though. It's now telling "No such file or directory". Yet I know I downloaded it! Downloaded again and it tells me it's installing packages to satisfy dependencies - so we'll see! This time I simply clicked on the 'open' button in the firefox download window by the file name. That seems to get the software installer going because it prompts for root password. cheers Rosemary
