Your fix doesn't address that problem... 2) As my machine is down, where am I going to apt-get debian from? jb4 "So don't pay attention to the approval ratings that say 68% of Americans disapprove of the job this man is doing. I ask you this, does that not also logically mean that 68% approve of the job he's not doing? Think about it. I haven't." — Stephen Colbert, at the White House Correspondent's Dinner 29Apr06

Simple: don't. :-D And the ones you missed: If you don't already have Debian installed, you're not likely to be able to `apt-get` much of anything. And there's not a package called `debian` in any case. This concludes my unhelpfullness. HTH YHBT HAND === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats].
