True, also should these be readable by anyone else? I see they are owned by root:dip but only readable by root

Note that the only dependencies are libc6 and libncurses5, which will be installed already. lrzsz is recommended by not needed. Go down to where it says "download minicom" and click in "i386". It takes you to a list of mirrors. Under NZ and australia there are two options, planetmirror was broken last time I used it. The ither one is mirror.isp.net.au, the full url is as I entered it above. The reason you started at ubuntu.com is becasue mepis uses the ubuntu packages. dapper is the current version of ubuntu.
