Hi Chad, After a good nights sleep to think things through. Installed apt and used apt-get to fill in the blanks in terms of dependencies for k3b. There was a conflict in the libmad packages installed. With apt-get -f, that was quickly resolved. then carefully reading the instructions for apt-get install k3b and behold it was done that quick. I oppologize for the extra messages. Being a newbie, it was satisfying to figure out the prob on my own and a little wiser for the wear. Thanks for all the info to get it done and my lesson learned is pay attention to details and directions. ===== Merrill A. Butterman Jr. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
