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

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-)
