this will only work if minicom is installed in the / directory (which it shouldn't be) go to the directory where the minicom deb file is stored and type: dpkg -i minic then hit the tab key, you may need to hit it more than once, it will complete the file name (assuming you don't have more than one filename starting with the letters "minic" > also the full minicom file name and it > wouldnt take it so gess I was either doing something wrong there or is > it that it is a .deb file that I sould actually be doing something else?? No it is exactly the same as when you last installed a .deb file. -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
