Cyber Source,
Thank you so much! It ran perfectly w/no error messages! xmms
working perfectly and rock solid (when I used xmms with some other
distros if I evened opened a text file audio playback would "crackle).
Since I'm new and never used apt-get before I've got a lot or research
to do now, but briefly, is it similar to the suse YOU and the mandrake
RPMDrake, and did it update all my programs and packages?
Thanks again,
Bob Randal
