Will: Thanks for the reply. You're about 10 hours too late :) I re-installed last night. I now have a potato system, and apt-get is nice and quiet. I'll keep this in mind in case I mess up again--which will most likely happen somewhere down the road. Thanks for your time and help. Now I'm off to configure sound for my system. late -- __ _ Mark Wagnon Debian GNU/ -o) / / (_)__ __ ____ __ Chula Vista, CA /\\/ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / [EMAIL PROTECTED] _\_v____/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ http://www.debian.org
