So I ran <aptitude update> and got the following errors: <quote> Err http://security.debian.org main/contrib Sources 404 Not Found [IP: 212.211.132.32 80] Err http://security.debian.org main/non-free Sources 404 Not Found [IP: 212.211.132.32 80] Err http://security.debian.org main/contrib amd64 Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 212.211.132.32 80] </quote> So you have clearly hit the nail on the head, Hugo. If this were Windows I would be muttering darkly about viruses. But it isn't Windows, so I am at a loss. I did Google to try and find a different mirror for security, but did not succeed. Perhaps I should wait a bit and see what I get tomorrow. It's late anyway here. Thanks for all the help, Hugo. Lisi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
