I can see all that in synaptic to prove its there, and mc agree's, but its in html and iceweasel has lost the ability to open a file on a local filesystem. No clue why as there sure should not be an ssl problem on a local direct access disk. So unless I see an iceweasel update in the next day or 2, I will be actively searching for a browser that Just Works(TM). > HTH Its all there, in the same directory tree with all the .sym files that describe this and that. I gave up on gschem and recreated it in PCB, but when exported to gcode and loaded into LCNC, it bears NO resemblance to what I composed in PCB. I'd use eagle, but everytime I take a nap, it self destructs with non-compatible upgrades. After 3 or 4 times of that happening, if I ever get it running again, I am going to do an ifconfig eth0 down before I restart it. I have little or no use for software that phones home without the users ok. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
