Konquerer and I have never made friends, Lisi, but if it works, I'll try to apologize to it. But I don't have to, it just refused to open gedadocs.html in the /usr/share/doc/geda/ directory. Despite being set as the default browser, it handed it over to iceweasel, and iceweasel of course claimed the file did not exist. Does it open that file on your system? Actually I did get it to open that file when used as an argument from a console window, in the local wiki, but its a one page file that points at www.gpleda.org, a site that apparently does not exist or the iceweasel cannot find. But the site CAN be pinged. A new ssl problem? The lack of being able to access the docs for all these tools is, to put it bluntly, damned frustrating. So to hell with it, I'll make the 60 mile round trip to my nearest radio shack tomorrow and get some of their project boards as I can build 2 each of these circuits on a 2x2" project board. In the meantime, somewhere in this daily updating of libssl and friends, maybe, if they switch chews and hold their mouth just right, a browser, any browser, might actually work again. But I don't recommend either of us hold our breath until that happens. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
