Arrgh When will I finally start remembering to change the recipient when I reply to a message?! Why don't Debian lists change the "Reply-To"? Sorry, I can't help you any further. I am new to Debian and somewhat new to Linux. I would go to packages.debian.org, though, and download/install the stable nvidia-glx package manually. Unless there would be a problem with version dependencies...? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
