Re: a few newbie problems
Everytime I try to apt-get install xxx I get this error: Kris, If you are still having troubles, it is possible that your list of sites that apt uses to grab packages is not correct and that is why it can't find some of the dependencies. If you are still having trouble, could you post your /etc/apt/sources.list so we can take a look? Pete -- http://www.elbnet.com ELB Internet Services, Inc.

Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a s olution). I did not do the apt-get -f install. What do I need to do? According to the apt-get(8) manual page, the -f (--fix-broken) option is sometimes needed when using apt for the first time. (Even though, I don't remember this ever happening to me when using apt for the first time on several systems.) With the -f option, apt-get tries to fix any broken dependencies. Have a look at the manual page; and follow the advice it gave you: Try 'apt-get -f install'. Good luck, Jeremy C.

Re: a few newbie problems
Kris, You mention this is the first time you are on Debian, so excuse the basics: Can you do an apt-get update This should show you between 3 and 9 lines of [Hit] or so.
