OK, for the sake of argument (at this instant, I'm in windows %$&[EMAIL PROTECTED] some other instant maybe I'll be in Linux) I'm willing to assume that you are correct, Raul. For both Susan and myself, could you explain why we are encouraged to first unpack and then configure these packages before installation? BTW, I think that I installed man but it doesn't work, how do I tell what packages have been installed? YHS Dale
