i would avoid automatix like the plague. it uses --force-yes, which can cause all kinds of bad things to happen. it rewrites your sources.list file, which is bad form. the guy that writes it is a whiny dick. easyubuntu was designed to make it easy to install dmca-ified and other software, while correcting the above problems. scott -- R.
