Did you use the alternative disk, then? I used the live CD and had my 
issues with it.

I would rather stay with a Debian-esque distro than with an RPM-based 
distro because of the superiority of apt for package management. It 
just works better, that's all.

Thanks for the info. I'm seriously looking at straight Debian for this 
machine, although my husband is now saying "You got Dapper to work, 
it's got everything I need now that you installed Audacity for me, why 
fix something that's no longer broke?" It might be all quite academic 
considering his views on the matter.

Take care,
Michelle
