Hmmm. Looks like your right, I had a reread of the error messages, it looks like I just don't have an up to date source for debconf. When I try to install xfree86-common it says that it depends on debconf >=1.2.9 but I only have 1.0.32 Right, I feel like I've progressed a few more cm along the learning curve :O) I have mirror.aarnet.edu.au as one of my sources, shouldn't that have a recent version of debconf? Thanks for the help guys! Cheers Rob T -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
