Thanks Rick...I did not know about that. I added a 2nd update source and tried again to download the xorg updates, it was so successful that I've just completed reinstall #3 for the last week. It's just as well I use the switch --noclean when i download as I would not be a happy camper having to do 180 mb of updates that number of times. Have a note on my monitor to remind me not to attempt the latest xorg until at least my mentor gets home later this week from his busmans holiday in the south of France.
