You need to enable the "multiverse" repository. The easiest way to do that is to open Synaptic Package Manager, open the Settings->Repostitory dialog, and click the multiverse check box. Once you've done that, you need to click the "Reload" button in synaptic to download the multiverse package list. Alternatively, you can edit /etc/apt/sources.list, uncomment the lines related to "multiverse" and execute "sudo apt-get update" Those steps are listed in the "Preparing the system" section of the wiki page. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 AHTB#1 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway?
