Thanks Alex I am currently trying to install the above and other assumed required packages. If past experience is an indicator results will not be satisfactory simply because trying to choose which additional packages are required for desired operations is most expediently difficult for someone who is not full acquainted with which packages are which. This issue is that the download site places too many versions of the same package and too many choices of alternate dependency packages with little or no explanation in the explanation section for advanced users like myself. Choice of having or not having a given function should not in a stable distribution be based on several levels of development work which people on your level can readily comprehend but not people on my level. To rephrase this is the current Gnome/KDE issue except on a higher level. Simply to complex for users. Oh if I was not explicate enough to install the above 3 packages dependencies require over 100 packages to be installed. Or at least that is what the installation program is saying.
