I have an established Ubuntu setup. Do you have a list of the various packages you require for installation? thanks, dave n9qnz Dave, you can easily install th packages with synaptic. You have to enable the 'universe' and 'multiverse' repositories, and you will find them... Synaptic will install all needed libraries etc. for you. 73, Rein DL/PA0R/P - nr Berlin via pskmail -
