hi rick,

thanks for a *useful reply!* it used to be the sole purpose for this list's
existence.

my dns is configured to leverage my att isp service, i'll look harder at
the failure
(as well as what pkg/repo is invalid)..

lastly, to the <?> on this list, my software engineer career spanned
1977->2014
during which the terminology solely used by my peers was, 'bla-bla was
broke" !

but you newbies carry on with what ever lingo floats your boat!
