Thanks; I'll give that a try today. > What software do you speak of? I don't know until I miss it, because in the past I've always been able to use just about everything; on my tests so far I haven't been able to do that. > BTW although I didn't find it (kde-desktop) in synaptic, I did > confirm that the above command does indeed install kde with > additional software.

No, I'll try it, and I'll type 'y' to go ahead, since that's what I want. Thanks for this; if I hadn't known this I wouldn't have tried it after failing to find it in Synaptic. I'm betting that Ubuntu is aiming at people who don't ask for anything special; otherwise why would they not offer kde-desktop in their Synaptic setup? I'm going to talk to Jono Bacon (I presume he still works there) about this, as I believe it's bad for the community. Jeff -- Jeff Lasman, Nobaloney Internet Services P.O.
