In fact, it is that simple. You made a mistake however. You tried to install the packages meant for 'sid' which is the permanent name of 'unstable'. You are running 'etch' or 'stable'. Change 'sid' in your sources.list to 'stable' and things should work as you want them to. > > Is it any wonder that Linux is not that popular yet? Because of > irritating complexities like this?

Maybe take up your issues with the Debian crew or switch to a dummy (no offense) friendly distro like Ubuntu (which incidentally has lame available in its standard repositories). Debian is intended for people who really do know what they are doing and enjoy tinkering. Ben
