ah sorry that was badly worded... I meant, I've uninstalled them, with the intention of reinstalling them. It seems to be linux-image-2.6.27-12-generic that's giving me the trouble... all the packages that don't depend on it install fine. However, I haven't found any files and clicked delete. If it helps, this is what cd /boot && ls -a returns: abi-2.6.27-12-generic config-2.6.27-12-generic grub initrd.img-2.6.27-12-generic memtest86+.bin System.map-2.6.27-12-generic vmcoreinfo-2.6.27-12-generic vmlinuz-2.6.27-12-generic uh yeah so that's it, Thanks :) =================================== Farran Lee I'm only 16 :P
