Dear Dr. Holder, Thank you for responding to our emails. The problem is that we use Knoppix Live Image for all our daily computing and experimentation. Some packages of Debian don't seem to work on Knoppix (which is a blend of Stable, Unstable and Experimental). Yes, we wish to use PyMol for education. We will download the package from the link, check and report back. Regards, Rajib & Yuktimmana
