For apt-get or synaptic to work, you need "sources", i.e. URL's, listed in /etc/apt/sources.list. This is where you can set the range of your updates to stable, testing, or unstable. What is listed in your Lindows? re StarOffice: did you have to run through the usual SO setup after you downloaded it? I am not aware of any Deb package of SO. I remember that Caldera 2.2/2.3 included SO 5 in RPM, but you still had to go through the setup rigamarole. -- Leon A.
