Thank you, I will have a look tonight, from what I can see on my 9.9 image is that I'm missing a few packages.
I suspect I have a corrupt usb install image. Several files are missing or appear to be part files. I'll burn a fresh image, I'll download a new iso at work and do the checksums. Is there a way to select the build-essential package during a base install, or do you have to mount, chroot and change apt.sources after the install?
