No sweat... you can't copy/paste into synaptic though. You can use synaptic to
install aptitude, and then the fore-mentioned should
work fine.

Before you go looking in the menu though, run

Thanks for all of your help, John, I truly appreciate your taking the time. I
am still very confused, though. I have gone to the
forums, linux.org tutorials, etc., and read your messages, and still don't
understand. Attached is what I got when I copy/pasted
the above script into a terminal as su.
By the way, I'm running PCLinuxOS under KDE. I use the Synaptic package
manager for installs and updates.

P.S. See, Don, I can attach a file the first time. Bet ya didn't think I had
it in me. 8-)

John, I don't care what Don and Lee say about you. As far as I'm concerned,
YOU ARE THE MAN!
Worked like a charm! Thanks again.
